On that debt limit issue:

” We believe the government would continue to pay interest and principal on its debt even in the event that the debt limit is not raised, leaving its creditworthiness intact,” the memo says. “The debt limit restricts government expenditures to the amount of its incoming revenues; it does not prohibit the government from servicing its debt.”

See: all the debt limit does is stop the deficit spending. Much like a limit on a credit card, you can only go into debt so far….then, as you pay down the debt, you can spend some more, but your debt only can be so high. It doesn’t mean that you can’t write a check to the power company or your landlord, just that you can’t buy more stuff without finding a way to pay for it. Congress wants to keep Barry and the DNC Senate from getting another credit card. Barry says that not raising the limit will cause “Economic Chaos!”….and it will for some…if they depend on further government spending for their livelihood….For the rest of us though….

Either Barry and the DNC are stupid, or they believe that you and I and all our neighbors are stupid. I think that they are lying, and a significant portion of the country doesn’t understand well enough (or at all) to detect the lie….Especially when the News Media isn’t calling them on that lie.

All this does is put the USA on a balanced budget. Cuts WILL have to be made (strangely, the Sequester didn’t keep this from happening) and the screaming as to exactly where those cuts will have to be made will be loud, strident, and cries of “Calamity!!!” will come from every quarter. But ultimately, for the first time in decades, the US will be on a balanced budget (at least, kinda/sorta, because both parties will play games with the numbers….but it’ll be closer to balanced than we have been in many years.

Fewer and fewer people (who aren’t already dependent on the feds for their livelihood) believe that anymore.

Daily, the numbers are dropping.

The actions of park rangers and other minions of the Feds show that they will follow orders, no matter how stupid.

People are beginning to realize that the government and the federal personnel no longer believe themselves to be servant of the citizens, but rather the other way around….master of the citizens. They believe that the citizens are subject their whim. Many of us knew that, but now, Joe average-low-information-voter is realizing it. and that is bad for the State.

They have forgotten that they govern only by the consent of the governed.

Bad precedents being set here. Not for us….for them.

Even if we have to spend extra money to show you how bad our fonances are…

Why, if you won’t stay out of our parks, then we will remove the handles from the water fountains just to make you extra more unhappy.

Petulance.

Barry: You look like an ass more and more every day

So the veil of competence is being torn from the face of government.

As is the veil of respectability.

And people are beginning to wonder why they have to obey the orders of the minions of the government. The actions of the Obama administration, in that the capricious blocking of certain parks and other portions of our government apparatus in an attempt to cause the greatest possible inconvenience to the American people irritates us and shows that the Administration considers us stupid enough to believe the hype and undermines the respect that we (generally) had for our government and our leaders.

It could be that the Obama administration is trying to anger enough people by inconveniencing them in the hope that the people will pressure their legislators to fold.

Instead it is encouraging disobedience. Lots and lots of disobedience. People are posting and tweeting their disobedience without fear of reprisal.

What is happening instead of people begging for their government to continue as it was is that people are realizing that they really don’t need (or care) for that government.

If the petty, vindictive actions of our government.continue, there will be more civil disobedience.

And if the government continues it’s actions, eventually, civil war.

Most people, conservative or liberal, upper, middle or lower class are decent people, not wishing to engage in a fight. Most are passive and choose other paths than fighting.

If they can.
If those other paths actually change things. If the government doesn’t continue to ratchet up the pressure.

But piss them off enough, give them a good enough reason, and even those passive people will stand up and say “ENOUGH!”.

How much longer will the Obama folks keep up the pressure? How many people have suddenly realized that they can only visit a park if Barry says so, or risk arrest?

How many have just, in the last few days, felt the urge to go to a federal park, just because some guy says that they can’t?

How long until people’s anger makes them realize that disobedience isn’t so bad, and that the consequences aren’t either.

And how many steps is it from civil disobedience to civil war?

Ask yourself: Why is that?

Think any government police will stand up and ever say “No!”.

Think again. Treating old folks like they were common trash.

All because their supervisors told ’em to.

Lots of stories like this, but you’ll never hear ’em on the media.

With the shutdown, and the closure of the parks and all the rest of the irritating things Barry has done…

Obama wants to teach us how much we need a powerful federal government.

I see how dangerous a vindictive government can be if it is angered….and how little we need such a government.

So was the Fugitive Slave Act.

And the law says that we have to pay the interest on our debts….

Won’t this really just be a spending cut? Won’t our government, for the first time in a long time, actually have to cut spending until the budget is actually balanced? Where there can be no deficit spending? Where we cannot spend more than we take in?

I see no crash, unless you are dependent on the gubmint for your livelihood, be it as a worker or as a welfare/SNAP/EBT/etc. recipient.

Perhaps, for once, if the GOP stands firm, we can actually have a chance at cutting some government bloat and waste.

Then the big fight over what to cut will begin.

But this will, at least, be a beginning.
