Wasn't aware that the president of the US controlled the budgets and money that is spent. Always thought it was the congress. In other words, unless Obama turns around and vetos a bill that congress passes, it's not him that's to blame for any of this.
The repub congress can pass a bill any time they want, with whatever they want in it.. Of course they might have a problem having the Senate pass it as well, but it could be done with some serious arm twisting.. At that point, it then becomes an issue of whether or not Obama would veto it and be the bad guy.
Didn't the repubs put a bill on the floor about this and then vote it down just so they could play politics with the issue? Did you make a post about that? About how they were playing games that could affect those on Social Security etc?
