Democrats and Republicans are still gauging how best to position themselves for the upcoming debt limit fight, as well as additional battles over steep automatic government spending cuts due to begin on March 1. That will be followed by a March 31 deadline for either enacting additional funding measures or shutting down government agencies.
Boehner said that the debt limit is “one point of leverage” but not the “ultimate leverage.” That, he was quoted saying, is the automatic spending cuts known as the “sequester.”

The article spells out the schedule for “sequester”. It will be interesting to see what happens between now and March 31.
The present projections are: The debt will increase from $16 trillion… to over $22 trillion in ten years.

The President | The Military | Others

declaration-of-independence

The President…the military…and many others take an oath to protect and defend the constitution.

In March 2013 the US Supreme Court will decide whether the Defense of Marriage Act is constitutional.

The Defense of Marriage Act was already declared to be unconstitutional before it will be tried.

The constitution requires the executive branch to enforce laws.

The executive branch already has said that it will not enforce the law.

There has been no punishment of those who violated their oath.

This country was quite successful until Woodrow Wilson advocated the idea of collectivism. The country has been on a decline ever since. Collectivism failed in the USSR. The present Russia has this to say about the United States: http://joemiller.us/2012/11/russias-pravda-declares-communism-won-in-american-with-obama-us-suffering-has-only-begun/
