Why does President Obama refuse to include spending cuts in discussions about raising the debt ceiling?

Don't believe the Left Wing LIES. Eye's is obviously a dolt. In 2006 Harry Reid himself whined that we shouldn't raise the debt ceiling and gave what he thought at the time was a good arguement against it.

But now that "his boy" is in charge, its ok? Hello? Are you democrats and left wing moron's that dense?

We have operated above the debt Ceiling before (as recent as 2009), and it didn't cause a calamity. It didn't make the USA collapse. But as usual, the lib media is spreading the lies of the democrat politicians and the left wing losers that can't think for themselves and don't know history just believe what they are told.

Which is why liberals will always remain the minority in America, no one trusts an idiot to run things when they can't remember what happened the day before.

Unlike Wall Street, in "real" life, past performance is a GREAT indicator of future performance! Throwing money around indiscriminately and irresponsibly HAS not worked, so it most likely WILL not work in the future! Einstein once defined insanity as doing the same things over and over and somehow expecting different results, a sort of Bullwinkle, "This Time For Sure!"

That's what Obama's been doing, and raising his credit-limit will just give him more money to throw away, and make it hurt MORE when the bill comes due! We need to increase taxes and get rid of waste yes, but one place everyone has forgotten about taxes is TARIFFS! Other countries make things cheaper by completely ignoring worker's rights and the ecological impact of their pollution, and Corporations will gladly go wherever there are the least rules.

Somehow, as expensive as fuel is, it's STILL cheaper to move jobs to a rival country, and bring the goods back than to do everything in house. Some suggest "fixing" this by removing all OUR restrictions and lowering OUR wages to Third World Levels, but that that's a wrong answer because then noone will be able to afford anything, plus, we'll ruin OUR health just to compete with scofflaw countries--what kind of "solution" is that? If we raise tariffs on Corporations that move to countries without rules, at best, we would force them to move back to America, and create jobs for AMERICANS!

(Please note, they promised to create jobs with the bailout wealth, and they ARE technically doing so, just creating jobs for other countries' poor, rather than ours!) At worst, it'll raise a lot of revenue, and make it more expensive for countries to cheat and dodge laws than to play by the rules. However, since the chances of that are only SLIGHTLY more than Obama admitting he doesn't know what the hell he's doing, we can enact our OWN "tariff" (Actually closer to a boycott) by checking UPC codes! If the first 3 digits are: 690-692 ... Then it is MADE IN CHINA 00 - 09 ... USA & CANADA 30 - 37 ... FRANCE 40 - 44 ... GERMANY 471 ... Taiwan 49 ... JAPAN 50 ... UK BUY USA & CANADIAN MADE by watching for "0" at the beginning of the number.

We need every boost we can get!

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
