Regardless of what is passed, the courts will overturn any restrictions on benefits and the administration will not enforce the law against hiring illegals. So, aside from voting which can be proven already happens, we have an open border. The question to ask is why? Business gets cheap labor and politicians get voting blocks. The end result is a standard of living on par with most of the world, crummy. Yes, certain "special" individuals will live lavish lives but for the rest of us get ready for English type living with poor health care, limited services and power shortages. My how we now take one step forward and three steps back. Gosh our fore fathers must be so proud of what we decided to do with our lives.

When we are as poor and destitute as the country these folks come from they will stop coming. Is that not the plan. We need to be cut down to size, only the enlightened liberals deserve the nice life while the rest of us scum deserve living in poverty. The only way to make it up to the world you know. All the folks with their hand out to Uncle Sam will soon learn what living the American Dream is all about. Locate you local dump because that is where your next meal is coming from!

Pat Pat Pat, as usual you mix truth and fantasy. It is true that foreign events can and will undermine Obama, it is not the evil Jews who will be the driver. Instead, perception of a weak Obama will embolden those who see opportunity. Most of those are Islamic or Chinese. Japan and Taiwan see the writing on the wall that the US can't be trusted. Domestically, Obama will overreach like FDR the difference no matter how much Obama wishes it he will not be able to run again. His influence will start to wane and after 2014 he will be meaningless. You do not pick a fight with the vast majority of Americans without blow back. Guns, taxes and government waste are great unification tools. Funny, he may end up uniting us after all.

This column is BS. Congress is not obligated to continue to budget any money for anything. The 14th Amendment means that the States are obligated to pay their share of debt which came out of the Civil War when the South protested taxation to pay the war debt. If you look at what keeps the Fed out of default is just to service the debt payments to existing debt. Spending is not something that has to be done. No congress can obligate a future congress to do anything. That is a good thing to remember when they promise things for your vote!

People have said the same thing but the House should pass their budget and dig in. Do not raise the debt limit and make Obama decide where to spend the money. By law the debt and Social Security will get paid along with most of defense. Now lets see what political decisions Obama will make with the remainder. He will make a political calculation and can be beat to death over it. In addition, after a couple of months people will realize that big brother Fed is really not that important. Withing 3 months the Dems will be begging for a compromise. Either way no more funny money because the Fed Reserve won't have to make up money to give to the Treasury since we will not be borrowing. True deficit reduction!

Sad that the knee jerk reaction is so predictable. The only true solution, one which they know would not be well received is a complete confiscation of all firearms. Then have door to door searches of all property by law enforcement and complete background investigation of all gun purchasers to make sure guns were turned in. That is what they really want but will not say so because they will have it broke off up their $^&. Oh, civilian ownership of full autos made before May 1986 is still legal in 38 states. One final thought, can our 600,000 or so cops protect us?

There is a way, pass a balanced budget and let the Senate reject it. Adjourn and go home let the taxes and spending cuts kick in in January. Then, when the debt limit talks come do not raise it. Walk away and let the President decide how to spend the money. By law the debt must be paid and Social Security. After that it is up to the President. This will bring the Democrats to the table because they know after 6 months, Obama will have made so many political decisions people will be mad as hell plus most folks will realize that they Government is not that important after all. Vola, no more funny money from the Fed and no more debt additions.

But, remember there are only 600,000 cops in this country and sooner or later things would get out of control and some innocents would be killed along with the cops. But, as Bill Ayers and his ilk thought that some millions would have to die. Obama is a supporter and friend of people like that so perhaps this is the plan. I doubt it but anything less is going to be as worthless as wishing world peace.

Finally, machine gun like semi auto military look alike were orphaned and hardly sold until the bans came into effect. 1985 you could buy a real M16 select fire (Semi and Full automatic) for the same price as a AR15 semi auto only. Now, in 2012 a real M16 is around $20,000 putting it out of reach of the common man. In 1989 the price of semi auto military look alike doubled overnight and became items of desire. Like any prohibition, it will only make them more attractive. There is only one thing that would make a difference is a complete ban on all guns and a house to house search and confiscation of guns and ammunition. To keep the police safe the raids would begin after midnight and all participants in the house should be restrained

There are some miss understanding about full auto weapons. You pay a transfer tax of $200 plus send in a Form that the local law enforcement official signs and a pair of finger print cards that the FBI will verify you are legal to own a weapon. It takes 6 months or so for the approval and transfer to take place. Full Automatic weapons were first registered Dec 19th, 1934 and no newly manufactured transferable full auto's can be sold to private individuals went into effect May 1986. This caps the number of transferables to 250,000 or so. Currently 38 states allow ownership.
