The Republican House must stick to their guns, and demand Mr. Reid pass a budget otherwise we close the government, period. If the Democrats start to spread fears of no checks will be mailed to social security recipients, or veterans, tell them to shove it up the you know what. Monies comes into the Treasury daily to pay for programs like these. Democrats with help from the MSM will start to spread all sorts of fears, and lies one thing they are pretty good at. It is time to show some testicular fortitude against these anti-Americans.

Republicans to Reid: Pass a Budget if You Want a Debt Ceiling Increase

Round two of another fiscal crisis is already underway as debate over raising the nation's borrowing limit, better known as the debt ceiling, heats up. Majority leader Harry Reid has blatantly ignored the law by failing to introduce a budget for more than 1300 days. House Republicans on the other hand have fullfilled their duty to the law by introducing and passing a budget every year since Obama has been in office. As Byron York points out, Reid's actions could give Republicans some leverage when it comes to satisfy Presindent Obama's request to increased borrowing (and spending) ability.
