LL>>> demands to enact any kind of a debt ceiling.  For those who   
    LL>>> have yet to read the 14th Amendment, here is what it says -   
      
    LL>>> "THE VALIDITY OF THE PUBLIC DEBT OF THE UNITED STATES,   
    LL>>> AUTHORIZED BY LAW, including debts incurred for payment of   
    LL>>> pensions and bounties for services in suppressing   
    LL>>> insurrection or rebellion, SHALL NOT BE QUESTIONED."   
      
    LL>>> Does a limit on debt "question" the "validity" of the debt?   
      
   BK>>No. But it does mean the debt must be paid, no matter what else   
   BK>>is shut down.   
      
    LL> True.  Which is why President Obama should ignore   
    LL> Republican demands to cut taxes for the wealthy as being a   
    LL> trade for their vote to raise the debt ceiling.  Read the   
    LL> 14th Amendment for a fuller comprehension of the meaning -   
      
    I agree with the above, but not with the below portion. Obama   
    needs to tell the republicans vote the increase, or bring down   
    the country, but no negotiations on any other point. Not on   
    taxes or cuts or the debt. This is critical now!   
      
    LL> Any debt ceiling imposed by the Congress is   
    LL> unconstitutional.
