Not a Penny More!

Don't forget that the agency debt is off-budget and NOT included in the ~$14.5T public debt (held in treasuries). It is currently ~80% of the treasury debt. If we added it all the liabilities together it would be $21.6T. If you think that number is bad, just wait - if the BBA passes, nearly spending will become agency debt giving a new meaning to the term "knowing where all of the bodies are buried." Sorry, but the BBA isn't the kind of financial salvation people think it is. We would be much better off with a clarification of the commerce clause, fixing Article III and IV providing an official process by which states can overturn SCOTUS. That will solve our spending a debt problems without messing with the statists' arbitrary solution to big gov't that we know won't last very long.

I am not afraid of the criminal that might attempt to rob my household, I have the means to protect myself and my family, however, I have no way of protecting myself from Congress or the illegal person sitting in the office of the President.

I can vote for anyone other than zer0bama and still find myself looking at him for four more years. I want my Country back.

The election process that put those (mostly) stooges in office is rigged from the outset via ownership of all venues of public discourse, publishing, highly politicized movies and TV, and a left-and-right-sided Janus-faced gantlet ensuring nobody but stooges of the elites has a chance for even becoming a candidate in most every district and definitely at the state level. Didn't Rick Perry and a Republican leader in Texas recently side with the TSA? We've had it unless we take back the electoral process at the precinct level and throw out the operatives. I went to a Tea Party rally in New Haven last year, where somebody not from Ct took the mike and attempted to work the crowd up in favor of this bogus War on Terror and the neocon agenda. This guy was more like a union goon than any Republican I've ever known. We need to identify these bums in both parties and show them and anyone they're promoting the door. As an aside about the coming police state, my town's dog warden was just telling me this morning that when he innocently went up on the railroad tracks to retrieve a woman's dog killed up there, an MTA cop came running at him, pointing his drawn gun at the dog warden, who was dressed in police uniform, and held him while he called in the "incident" to some federal clearing center. He told the dog warden that he should arrest him, but let him go. Now, if these federalized goons do that to a cop in uniform, think of what's coming for the rest of us.

This is NOT a spending problem this is a looting and theft problem. All the bail-outs and quantitative easing is nothing more than a ponsi scheme. It's flat out fraud.

The FED is the problem and always has been.Quantitative easing is the printing presses running amuck. The more they print the lesser the value of the dollar. This economy is being destroyed by design to make us all surfs to the NWO.

What we have is fascism or corporatism since it's the corporations that are following orders from the FED our central bank.

Ron Paul needs to be elected and needs our support if we ever want to restore this republic. Otherwise we will all be living under fascist rule. Consolidation, control and culling are the plans the FED hopes you never find out about. They are almost done with their consolidation and have started the control grid but if they gain total control then next will come the culling of the population. That is their plan are you going to let this happen too you apathetic morons? Present company excluded. Wake up!!!!!!!!!!

In the prophetic words of Patrick Henry“….there is to be a great and mighty President, with very extensive powers; the powers of a King: He is to be supported in extravagant magnificence: So that the whole of our property may be taken by this American Government, by laying what taxes they please, giving themselves what salaries they please, and suspending our laws at their pleasure….” (pg 211 The Anti-Federalist Papers and the Constitutional Convention Debates) Read more of our Founders extraordinarily insightful thoughts in an easy-to-read summary entitled "The 1787 Constitutional Debates" at: http://missouritenth.files.wordpress.com/2010/06/...

If the speaker can't stand for the people on this and not let them raise the debt limit he needs to step down and let a fighter in there.a fighter for the people.

I trust the Judge Napolitano knows what he says and the Speaker is the right person for the job. The judge does not mention Boehner by name, but Boehner is in the Title of this post. The problem I have is that Boehner has ALREADY betrayed the people TWICE by negotiating with the imposter/usurper that occupies a certain oval office. Is Boehner fit for the job? I sure hope Boehner grows a spine and stands up to the administration. The Speaker MAY be the person who SHOULD do the job, but will he?

Supremely wise words Judge ;-)

Your Constitutional interpretation is readily recognized by We the People....
and ignored by Rothschild banksters and their zionist minions

The Judge has said it all with this letter.

I will wait and see, although I have no expectation anymore that the Speaker or any other member of the government, save the few who are there that already are trying, will act on it.

The ONLY "living and breathing document", is the Declaration Of Independence. In it, the citizens of the US are enjoined to replace a government that has become out of control and stands in the way of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

We threw off the yoke of the King of England for those reasons. We now face the same situation, and must remove the government in Washington D.C.

I no longer see any other way, after a lifetime of trying via the electoral and political methods of the Constitution I believe in and support with all my heart and soul. The functions of the Constitution no longer exist in this country.

We did it once and we must do it again.

The judge's letter to the speaker certainly toe'd the mark. I doubt that our self-serving politicians are in any mood to act in the best interests of their constituents unless they are forced to do so. And how do we do that?

“When a country is indebted to the degree that we’re indebted, the country always defaults,” said Rep. Ron Paul on the House floor yesterday. “We will default because the debt is unsustainable.”

“If we don’t understand this, this default will not be because we don’t send out the checks. We will send out the checks. It will be defaulted on because people will get their money back, or they will get their Social Security checks, and it won’t buy anything.” So true.

Thank you, Judge Napolitano. This needs to be said more often and more loudly, until Congress listens. The runaway spending of the Federal government is unsustainable, but there's no incentive for them to stop as long as it's not their money that they're spending, they're not accountable for spending it, and what they're spending it on ultimately comes down to buying the favor of the few whose influence actually matters inside the Beltway.

Yes, standing firm and saying "Not one red cent more" is going to hurt. But it won't hurt as much as letting the debt rise another three, or five, or ten trillion, until we hit the point where we CANNOT pay it. (I have seen sound, reasoned arguments that we have already passed that point; that paying off the debt of the US Government already requires more dollars than actually exist.)

We're warned that not raising the debt cap may cause a crash. But raising the debt cap will only put off that crash; and the longer we put it off, the bigger and nastier it's going to be, and the longer it's going to last, and the worse it's going to hurt all of us — except for the tiny elite who have spent the last thirty years accumulating something like 60% of all the wealth in the US. They're going to be just fine.

When the current white house occupants are "fumigated out of the bldg"..& a RESPONSIBLE CONSTITUTIONALLY BASED PRESIDENT IS THERE...then "DA JUDGE" better be lined up to take a MEANINGFUL SEAT ON THE SUPREME COURT BENCH...Me thInks the two newest "unqualified" choices by Obama...ie Sodomayor & Kagan..if in ANY WAY POSSIBLE should be impeached,..removed..given early retirement..etc..etc. so as to get the SUPREME COURT into a MORE "CONSTITUTIONALLY BASED" FORM OF JUDICIAL ACTIONS FOR WHICH IT WAS ORIGINALLY INTENDED..what say you??

Here's an article that discusses some of the points brought up by the Judge in his book 'The Constitution in Exile' - - and also addresses issues that are of importance to all of us visiting this website. Enjoy ! - - -

Thanks so much, Judge Napolitano!!!

"Americans do not want to see the debt ceiling raised. They’re sick and tired of paying interest on borrowed money; money borrowed in their name."

Q: Why won't the federal government/treasury of the People of the United States print and issue it's own debt-free money again? Didn't a certain American president -- for the good of the United States & its People & the Constitution -- effect such a change just less than five decades ago? What happened?

Ive read both of the books by Judge Napolitano that are pictured above. He writes in a clear and compelling manner.

I would love for him to be the V.P. candidate with Ron Paul in 2012 !

Well said, as always, Judge. Principle over politics.
