As part of the silly budget debate in Washington, President Obama is claiming that an increase in the debt limit wouldn’t authorize higher spending.
That’s technically true, but it sure would enable higher spending.

His indignation was similar to the indignation during the second debate when asked about the response to the attack on Americans in Lybia. Frankly , Scarlett, I don’t give a damn about what he get’s indignant about. It usually means he knows that you hit a soft spot. It’s obvious to those that see honesty, or the lack there of, in human discourse.
