I gear guy would hop the fence. I've done it.

A little different perspective.



Obamacare is not directly tied to this continuing resolution in any way. It is a separate piece of legislation, already passed and signed into law back in 2010. The House Republicans are just saying, "We don't like this law, Obamacare, that was already passed, and because we do not have the votes to repeal it in the manner laid out in the Constitution" -- they don't; they've already tried to repeal it 42 times, yes, that is true, 42 times -- "we're going to instead DEMAND that the law be repealed or delayed, or else we won't pass a 'clean' continuing resolution, without any of the stuff about Obamacare, necessary to keep the country running."

As for the debt ceiling, Congress authorizes spending, NOT the president. Raising the debt ceiling does NOT authorize more spending. It pays the bills Congress has already authorized.

Fishy, don't confuse the Sheeples.

This is all Obama's fault for passing an unconstitutional socialist plot government takeover of healthcare called Obamacare. Too bad they didn't just pass the Affordable Care Act, that one's way better. Now we have to raise the debt ceiling to pay for Obamacare, which doesn't even kick in until 2014.
