Democrats Seek Cover To Boost Debt Limit

The Senate must soon increase the national debt limit to above $13 trillion — and Democrats are looking for political cover.

Knowing they will face unyielding GOP attacks for voting to increase the eye-popping debt, Democrats are considering attaching a debt increase provision to a must-pass bill, possibly the Defense Department spending bill, according to Democratic and Republican sources.

Adding it to the defense bill would allow Democrats to argue that they voted for the measure to help troops in harm’s way — and downplay that their vote also expanded the limit for how much money the country can borrow.

The strategy has not yet been finalized, aides and senators said. The House already approved a debt limit increase of $925 billion — above the $12.1 trillion ceiling Congress approved as part of the economic stimulus package last February — but Democrats may seek to increase the limit further so they don’t have to revisit the politically treacherous issue until after the 2010 midterm elections.

GOP Senate leaders — who expect their 40 members to unite against the debt limit increase and force Democrats to find the necessary 60 votes on their own — are eager to have a protracted amendment process on the floor.

“My guess is that we will try to offer some amendments to [the increase] because I think it’ll be a good opportunity for us to have a debate on spending and borrowing, and that’s obviously a debate that we want to engage in,” said Sen. John Thune (R-S.D.), No. 4 in the GOP leadership.

ObamaCare Abortion Funding

Pro-life Democrats, who are opposing the abortion funding inherent in ObamaCare, are facing intense political pressure. The heat is being applied!

Rep. Bart Stupak says that members of his party are putting pressure on him because he is vowing to vote his pro-life conscience.

“The Speaker is not happy with me,” Stupak says.

The Congressman went so far as to say he is willing to lose his seat in Congress if that is a consequence of voting for life! Stupak is not alone.

Other key Members of Congress have stepped forward in the past 48 hours to express concern about ObamaCare in response to Sen. Reid’s “trial balloon” on the so-called “public option” earlier this week.

It’s starting to look like Reid and Pelosi have an outright revolt on their hands!

As a result, the strong-arm tactics will increase dramatically over the next few crucially important days.

The key time to reach members of Congress with your opinion on ObamaCare and its mandatory taxpayer funding of abortion is RIGHT NOW!

The revolt against Reid’s and Pelosi’s bullying is building! Once the bills actually get to the floor of the House and Senate, it could be too late – because the closed-door meetings, the secret deal-cutting, the strong-arm tactics are all happening NOW before the bills get to the floor.

We cannot let political bullies trample on the revolt among pro-life members of Congress that is building!

Between now and the final vote, we need THOUSANDS OF PHONE CALLS flooding the Senate EVERY DAY…demanding that we have TIME to see and analyze the bill before any vote is taken!

We must demand that Congress STOP THIS DECEPTION and arm twisting!

Then, we need to make it clear that we will not accept ANY bill that funds abortions, limits our rights or imposes new taxes and burdens on the American people.

This is the ultimate high-stakes game of political pressure. And pro-life members of Congress are in the crosshairs! They richly deserve our encouragement. Please let your voice be heard!

Judge Andrew Napolitano and Congressman James Clyburn

The White House Doesn’t Want You To See This

Dave Camp, the GOP Ranking Member on the House Ways and Means Committee, issued this devastating report on job creation attributable to the ARRA legislation. In state after state, the Obama administrations projections werent just off but off by orders of magnitude.

Heres a partial list of the worst projections:

California projected gain: 396,000, California Actual: LOST 336,400
Arizona projected gain: 70,000, Arizona Actual: LOST 77,300
Colorado projected gain: 59,000, Colorado Actual: LOST 58,900
Georgia projected gain: 106,000, Georgia Actual: LOST 131,000
Illinois projected gain: 148,000, Illinois Actual: LOST 148,000
Florida projected gain: 206,000, Florida Actual: LOST 165,100
Michigan projected gain: 109,000, Michigan Actual: LOST 137,300
Nevada projected gain: 34,000, Nevada Actual: LOST 33,800
Ohio projected gain: 133,000, Ohio Actual: LOST 97,500
Pennsylvania projected gain: 143,000, Pennsylvania Actual: LOST 103,200

These are just some of the worst miscalculations. Read the entire list but only if youve taken your blood pressure medication.

One oddity stands out in the report, namely North Dakota. They were predicted to gain 8,000 jobs. They didnt meet that mark but they gained 1,800 jobs. It couldnt have anything to do with their tax cuts, could it? Surely, thats coincidental, isnt it King?

At some point, thoughtful people will reject President Obamas wisecracks about not following the failed policies of the last eight years because theyll judge President Obama on his economic failures. Theyll notice that his economic accomplishments will consist of, in his eyes, the failed stimulus bill. Other than that, what can he point to as an accomplishment?

He certainly can’t point to his budget. Why would President Obama highlight a budget that includes trillion dollar deficits for as far as the eye can see? If President Obama were to highlight his budget, hed be handing GOP strategists a powerful campaign theme on a silver platter. (Just imagine the TV ads showing President Obama talking about the green shoots hes seeing in the economy, then showing the annual deficits in bold red letters, followed by VP Biden talking about how the stimulus is working better than he could’ve imagined with headlines of monthly unemployment figures scrolling across the screen.)
