Let's help Obama control spending

Obama owes what little presidential power he has left to Vladimir Putin. Had Putin not intervened in Syria Obama would have faced a showdown with Congress over the use of cruise missiles to punish Syria. Obama will negotiate with Russia and Iran because he fears the Tea Party more than he fears any foreign power. His arrogance and truculence is a bluff. When push comes to shove he will blink. The main stream media has been busily rewriting history. Newt Gingrich and the House Republicans won huge concessions from Clinton and they were not mowed down in the following election. They dropped a few House seats while picking up two Senate seats. If I were leading House Republicans, I would, after the Senate rejects the latest house offer break down the continuing resolution by departments. Here is Defense, here is State, here is DOJ, all clean resolutions; take 'em or leave 'em. I might neglect to fund Energy and Labor and maybe even HUD for a few months just to make sure that the country understood well that the founding fathers had given the Congress control over spending for a reason.
Politicians like to give mundane bills lofty sounding bills such as "Making Work Pay". My bill to raise the debt limit would be entitled "Keeping Obama Honest". The annual budget deficit is about $600 billion or about $50 billion per month. As Obama has no inclination to follow the constitution or law when it is counter to his goals I would keep him on a short leash. Why not raise the debt limit in $100 billion dollar increments? Here's a 100 billion, Mr. President. That should last you until after Thanksgiving. In the meantime we will be sending you legislation reversing your modifications to Obamacare and it had better damn well get through the Senate and be signed by you before we talk about raising the debt limit again. Furthermore before you presume to ask us to let you borrow anymore money please submit a list of names for our approval that you would consider to act as special prosecutor to investigate the IRS and Benghazi scandals and forget executive privilege and get us those damn documents we subpoenaed relative to Fast and Furious so we can see if we will be needing another special prosecutor.
The public is well aware of the federal deficit like it never has been. According to a recent Bloomberg poll only 28% want to raise the debt limit without spending cuts. Bringing the issue up for a vote every two month will keep it in the front of the voters' minds until the mid term elections. If congress has the will it can rein in spending and Obama.
