Plafond de la dette: position suicidaire du G.O.P. (selon la Maison Blanche)


Je crois que la Maison-Blanche a raison sur ce point... Boehner devra rappeler ses troupes à l'ordre avant l'élection de novembre. Parions que Romney et lui vont échanger...

 "Ever since House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) signaled a return to debt limit brinksmanship this coming winter, White House officials have been adamant that the administration’s not going to countenance a repeat of last August.

 “[W]e’re not going to recreate the debt ceiling debacle of last August,” White House Press Secretary Jay Carney insisted from the podium last week. “It is simply not acceptable to hold the American and global economy hostage to one party’s political ideology. It is the responsibility of Congress to ensure that the United States of America pays its bills, that it maintains its creditworthiness, that it fulfills its obligation and maintains the full faith and credit that it has long enjoyed.”

 At a background briefing with reporters Tuesday, two senior administration officials made a plausible case that the GOP’s demands are politically unsustainable, suggesting President Obama can stick to his guns as the debt limit approaches and that Boehner and Republicans will cave.

The briefing was conducted under ground rules that prevent the use of direct quotations. But a senior administration official questioned the logic underlying Boehner’s threat. Going into an election, the official noted, Republicans will have a hard time making the case to voters if part of their platform is another debt limit debacle."
