Obama to Republicans: 'I will not negotiate' - The Hill's Blog Briefing Room

The Hill's Blog Briefing Room ( Democrat Propaganda Warning )

The Hill is propagating propaganda.  There's a few corrections needed here for everybody who may be interested in the truth.  Who knows these days?

There's a straw man argument that could serve as a model for what a straw man argument is

• Obama said. “But I will not negotiate over Congress’ responsibility to pay the bills it has already racked up."  [Correction:  The Congress for a long time has not been paying the bills that it has already racked up.  These are called "deficits".  If the Congress has a "surplus", it could then pay down the debt, but that hasn't been happening for awhile, now has it?  It wasn't happening when there was a so-called surplus in the nineties, either.  The debt continued to rise then, as well.  No debt has been paid down since before the Great Depression, most likely.
• federal government risks defaulting on its debt obligations for the first time in history [ Correction:  There can't be a default unless the government stops paying interest on the debt, which has been shown above, has been continuing to rise for decades upon decades.  There is not even a scintilla of a risk of this happening.  Straw man argument, once again.]
• Republicans in Congress might choose to shut down the government and potentially damage the economy [ Correction:  As we have seen above, there will be no damage to the credit worthiness of the government if the government shuts down.  Besides, the threat of the shut down is not one that the GOP is making, anyway.  As long as they approve the funds for the government, as they have indicated that they will do, the government will not shut down.  This is a two fer.  There will be no shut down, unless somebody wants one, and even if there is, the government's credit worthiness will not be affected.  ]
• “The Affordable Care Act is one of the most important things we’ve done as a country in decades to strengthen economic security for the middle class" [ Correction:  Now he just plain lying his ass off.  The only thing this law has done has that it has empowered the government beyond all reason.  It has stifled the economy and will explode the budget.  It is a bad deal and it should be repealed immediately.]
  

Thus, Obama sets up the straw man that if this bill is overturned, the economy will suffer.  It has been suffering all along, and there will be relief when it is finally killed off.  Hopefully, the GOP will stick to their guns and defeat this despicable piece of legislative self aggrandizement of the left.

There wasn't any attempt by this piece to present the other side.
