Rubio to Obama-you are making the us a deadbeat nation

[Faster horses]

In a scathing letter sent to Barack Obama this morning, Senator Marco Rubio said that under the President's first term in office, "more and more people have come to believe that America is becoming a deadbeat nation."

Rubio went on to pledge that he would challenge any further increase in the debt ceiling, arguing that "we [Congress] need to make it routine to actually spend no more than we take in." In the letter obtained by HUMAN EVENTS, the Florida Senator said that President Obama's upcoming request to increase the debt ceiling by a whopping $1.2 trillion will cause the nation's public debt to surpass the $16 trillion mark.

"I will oppose your request to continue borrowing and spending recklessly."

President Obama is expected to request the new borrowing power from Congress once the Senate and House return from their holiday recess.

The president must notify Congress when the debt closes within $100 billion of the ceiling, according to the Budget Control Act passed in August. This triggers for Congress their only available option to block an increase, in this case $1.2 trillion, by passing legislation. However, even if the House and Senate do that, the president can still veto their objections. In short, there is very little Republicans can do in a Democratic-controlled Senate to block an increase.

Yep- Congress already has given the President the approval to raise the debt if need be.... If they flipflop and reneg now- all he has to do is veto their flipflop...
Just voting NO until its a last day before national economic collapse- and Congress's totally disfunctional ability to compromise on cuts put us there.....

Rubio seems to forget- that all of these bills we are paying were approved by Congress...
