Admission: I have a vested personal interest in the country not going into default - as a military retiree, I rely heavily on my monthly military retirement check, my disability check for service-related medical issues and on the services I receive through the Veteran's Administration - all of which will disappear if the United States defaults. And if the United States defaults, I will put the blame to those Republican legislators who believe their oath to Grover Norquist: quote:
I pledge to the taxpayers of the [district or state] and to the American people that I will: ONE, oppose any and all efforts to increase the marginal income tax rates for individuals and/or business; and TWO, oppose any reduction or elimination of deductions and credits, unless matched dollar for dollar by further reducing tax rates. is more important than the oath they took when they entered the House or the Senate: quote:
I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter.So help me God. In other words, when these politicians swore before God and their country that they take their obligations “freely” and “without any mental reservation,” they lied under oath (AKA they perjured themselves). How can they claim to face their obligations in Congress freely when they have made a prior pledge they consider unbreakable not to do certain things? They can’t.
