Raising the debt ceiling is the crossroads. This is the best chance the Republicans have of repeal of Obama Care, if they don't do it now, it will not be repealed. by Mark Vogl

Let's suppose that in November of 2012 Sarah Palin is elected President, the Republicans gain forty seats in the House, and they get a total of 59 Senators. Do you think Obama Care would be repealed? I don't. With just forty one Senators the Democrats would be able to filibuster any repeal and they would. They would nothing to lose. They would be completely out of power. But, still they would be able to sustain what they have done.
Obama care would be impossible to repeal without a Republican President and Republican super majority control of both of the Houses.
Now is the time to act. Now is the time to force the Democrats to repeal Obama care. They hold the White House and the Senate. They are in control, and if the nation fails now history would record the Democrats in control.
The Democrats have not offered, or fought for and passed, a budget since Obama took office. Our economy is stagnant, our foreign policy in shambles. America is in a state of decline. No one can deny that it is the Democrats who are in charge, and it is their policies which have failed. Republicans hold all the aces. So sitting at a table with the President and Senator Majority arguing about taxing the people who own corporate jets, or what minor cuts will be made is a total waste of the opportunity presented.
Sean Hannity said it absolutely right the other day. The solution is simple, The Republican House will support raising the debt ceiling if you repeal Obama Care, and pass a Balanced Budget Amendment. Not a promise to do it. The Democrats must pass a repeal of Obama Care in both Houses and the President sign it. The Democrats must pass a Balanced Budget Amendment and the President sign it. This must be done before the vote on the debt ceiling. If not...than Republicans oppose raising the debt ceiling.
This is not a time for half measures. It's not a time for compromise. Our economy is in serious trouble. The uncertainty factor of what will happen with national health care, and the looming deficits of unfunded social programs is blocking any recovery. People are unemployed. Not for weeks, or months, but for permanent if we don't fix this.
This is not a difficult, complicated political fix. It is simple, easy to do, and easy to verify.
The operating philosophy here is no new taxes. The government spending must be brought into balance with the revenues it already receives. The federal government gets no more money. Prioritize; make tough decisions, but no more money. Sort through the entitlements already in place, fund these, or reduce them. But, no new ones. And stop funding programs which do nothing to improve the conditions of people Example, disability for drug addicts; should never have happened, needs to stop. And, no social assistance for illegals;. again, should have never happened, must stop. We can balance this budget if we get our heads out of dream world. Education is a state responsibility. Close the Department of Education.
America can work again, but it requires socialists to move to socialist countries. Look down your nose at us. Insult us, and then board the plan for your favorite socialist country.
This experiment has gone far enough. We see the evidence.
Folks, this is not hard. If the GOP wimps out. If they come up with a gimmicks and gizmo's solution the nation will fail, in our life time. It's clear as day.
Personally, I can handle failure. I believe breaking up the union would provide the best opportunity to create a Christian, conservative, constitutional nation. I wish I would be proven wrong. I hope the Republicans will do what I believe them to be incapable of. I would love to see a complete reversal of the policies of the last fifty years. But alas, I am not hopeful.
This is the crossroads, we don't have to long to wait.
