It’s true that cutting the military alone isn’t going to bring the federal budget into balance: but many of the so-called “social” programs defended by the liberal-left are ways of keeping the population pacified, in much the same way US “aid” bribes foreign peoples into submission. The theory is that the commoners will keep quiet as long as they’re getting a free lunch. However, what happens when the tab arrives and no one can pay it? That’s the moment we are fast approaching. Increasing the debt ceiling will, at best, only delay the day of reckoning: at worst, it will provoke it.
No doubt Obama, his cronies and neocons want to continue their blood lust all over the Middle East and parts of Asia. So they like the left have no interest in keeping the debt ceiling
