Barack Obama may be seriously considering ignoring the debt ceiling and just continue to spend money.\u00a0<\/p>\n

http:\/\/www.cnsnews.com\/news\/article\/breaking-49-house-members-call-investiga<\/a><\/p>\n

The pattern is becoming all too familiar.\u00a0 Obama does what he wants, without regard to congress.\u00a0 He started by appointing all those Czars.\u00a0 The whole point of the Czars was that they did not require congressional approval.\u00a0 Then, more recently, he decided to go to war with Libya. Now, it appears that he is prepared to ignore congress with regard to the debt ceiling.<\/p>\n

I can almost hear him now. He will declare a financial emergency and say that since congress refused to do the necessary, he is taking action.\u00a0 The man is fully capable of doing this.\u00a0 Of course the only action he will consider is continuing to spend money he doesn\u2019t have.\u00a0 He may also refuse to pay our military, or Social Security, or Medicare.\u00a0 This is a standard Democratic ploy.\u00a0 The first things they cut during a time of crisis are the things that really matter.\u00a0 That is why every time a Democratic leader is confronted with a financial challenge they threaten to cut funds for schools, police officers and fire fighters.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Congress should call Obama\u2019s bluff.\u00a0 They should refuse to raise the debt ceiling and demand that Obama spend the available money with the following non-negotiable priorities:\u00a0 Pay our troops, pay Social Security, pay Medicare, and pay the interest on the debt.\u00a0 There is more than enough revenue to meet these priorities.\u00a0 If Obama does that, there is no risk of the U.S. defaulting.\u00a0 There will be painful cuts, but no financial crisis.\u00a0 It is extremely important for the Republicans to refuse to raise the debt limit and to also to make sure the American people understand that the decision to default on our debt will be solely the responsibility of President Barack Hussein Obama.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Obama has not sought or received congressional authority for a lot of things he has done.\u00a0 George Bush challenged the UN and told them that if they were unwilling to back up their resolutions, they risked becoming irrelevant.\u00a0 In my personal opinion, the same is true for congress.\u00a0 If the leaders in the House and the Senate are unwilling to stand up for congressional authority when a President is openly ignoring the constitution, when will they stand up?\u00a0 Leadership is not standing by meekly while Obama mucks things up beyond repair.<\/p>\n

The 4th<\/sup> of July is an important reminder of the courage it took for our founding fathers to stand up to King George.\u00a0 It is easy to forget that a significant portion of the population at the time thought this was a major mistake.\u00a0 They were wrong.\u00a0 As Barry Goldwater once said:\u00a0<\/p>\n

extremism in defense of liberty is no vice and moderation in resisting tyranny is no virtue.<\/span><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n
