Boehner says U.S. on path to default if Obama won't negotiate
Boehner is as much a liar as a coward.
The president has no problem negotiating, with regard to current, unresolved budgeting issues. Of course one fails to see why the president would negotiate given the Executive neither writes nor passes spending legislation. Boehner needs to negotiate with Reid. WW staff are allowed to sit in and monitor Congressional negotiations, and contribute items the president might want to see as part of a given law, but any final legislative resolution can be agree upon only by members of Congress.
But Obama cannot negotiate concerning existing Federal law, such as the ACA. Its ignorant idiocy to suggest otherwise.
Boehner and House republicans are of course at liberty to address amending the ACA after theyve discharged their responsibility to ensure the government is funded and able to pay its debts.
Flap-yap all you want, Teabaggers. When it hits the fan, ain't gonna be the Dems that everyone comes down on. You fellows have been shouting for years about drowning the goverment, now you are actually doing it. And the American Citizen knows exactly who to blame.
Its interesting how Conservatives think Obama has the power to extend the debt ceiling and fund the govt. all on his own.
And he has the power to send bills to his desk, all on his own.
very very interesting.
Obama should have the radical right arrested for treason and terror attacks against the nation.

And just who would be included in your defination of "radical right" to be arrested for treason and terror attacks against the nation?
Wall Steet, bankers, the fellow working his tail off and living from paycheck to paycheck are all going to be on the same side on this one. All of their incomes are going to be affected severely. I really get the feeling that the Teabaggers and people like Cruz and many on this board have totally retreated from reality. You crash the economy on purpose after crashing accidentally through idiocy, you are going to answer to the whole of America. And it is not going to be pretty for the GOP.

the American people sure do know...that is why Obama and his party is at 41% approval rating
but you all need dreams and any spin will do for ya
The nation does not really have to default. The nation has an enormous income. It merely has to prioritize. But, as Jack Lew said to Chris Wallace today, this regime will not prioritize.
It's sort of like if you maxed out your credit card and the bank refused to up your credit balance. You have a good job, you can pay your bills, you might not go out for dinner three nights a week, you might not throw that catered party, but you can pay your bills.
That's the position of the government. To imagine that if we cannot borrow more money, we can't pay any of the bills is plain silly. It's like saying that the entire country has no income, no one is paying taxes, no tariffs or fees are being collected. There's no income. In actuality there is plenty of income.
Yea, but there is this little thing called insolvency.
Edit: The UK have laws about it.

If the US government is insolvent, it doesn't have enough income to pay it's obligations and it is bankrupt. The US is not insolvent. It merely has to cut down on the frills a tiny bit. No more 100 million dollar vacations for instance. That 300 million the US is giving to the Syrian terrorists, that gets scratched off the list. Likewise another 300 million to Palestinians. Egypt is getting 250 million.
Then there are the parties, junkets, bonuses (for doing an ordinary job) and the useless studies like how fast a shrimp can run on a treadmill. Government waste costs 16 Billion dollars a year.

There there are 160 agencies that duplicate the work of other agencies wasting billions more.

In reality, we cannot continue to borrow money just to pay the interest on the money we borrowed last time while we fritter away our income. No one can. No person, no business, no country can.
Well, Staph, who predicted the outcome of 6Nov12 correctly, you or me?
How are you enjoying President Romney's first term?

Cruz first and foremost, then any other right winger that voted against the nation paying it's bills and supports holding the nation hostage over their own butthurt with a completely unrelated bill.

You mean the little things like people voting themselves retirement programs and pensions and healthcare policies that can never be paid for? That kind of insolvency? The dems will never understand that.

If the Democrats refuse to talk or compromise just as they have been doing... It's on their heads.
The Democrats don't decide what bills get brought up for a vote in the House.
Speaker Boehner does.
He has the power to bring up a clean bill that funds the govt. and extends the debt ceiling.
Its all on him.

Hmmmm, then how did he change ACA (unconstitutional btw) to delay the employer mandate and 4 other provisions? Funny how he picks and choose what he wants enforced, isn't it? Also, the immigration laws are the "law of the land" yet Obama, et al. refuse to enforce them to the detriment of the American people. Does that qualify as "ignorant idiocy?"
