Judging by their remarks, President Obama and Congressman Duncan are light years apart on what’s needed to avoid the potential of February 15 as the day government may not be able to meet its bills. Obama yesterday said Republicans in Congress have two choices. “They can act responsibly, and pay America’s bills, or they can act irresponsibly and put America through another economic crisis….” Duncan reacted by accusing the President of threatening to use seniors and veterans as pawns and said this, “If any senior, soldier, or veteran doesn’t receive a check on time, or if the government defaults on its debts, it is solely because the Obama administration decided they were not a priority.”
