Vấn Đề QHHK Đóng Cửa Chính Phủ Và Chưa Chịu Nâng Cao Mức Nợ

Thưa Quý vị:

Chuyện chính trị HK về việc đóng cửa và nâng cao mức nợ lại liên quan đến nạn Đại Hán, nên buộc lòng tôi phải viết gấp mặc dù đang quá bận. TT Obama phải huỷ chuyến đi Bali và Brunei . Dù sao ông John Kerry cũng đã áp lực TRC về vấn đề Biển Đông rồi.
 
Thiển nghĩ, chủ thuyết Obama về châu Á có liên hệ đến nền dân chủ của VN trong tương lai cũng như hoá giải được nạn Đai Hán. Đó là động lực tôi gõ máy đôi chút, cũng như bắt đầu nhập cuộc tranh luận trên DĐHK nếu thấy thích thú và hữu ích. 

Vấn đề QH đặt điều kiện thương thuyết là phải kèm theo điều kiện về Obama health care và chính phủ cần giảm thuế. Thiển nghĩ, thật là phi nguyên tắc căn cứ vào hiến định; QH có trách nhiệm soạn thảo và biểu quyết ngân khoản và trả nợ cho chính phủ, còn TTHK trách nhiệm thi hành luật Obama health care cũng như chính sách thuế má đã được QH thông qua. 

Xin nhớ, muốn chỉ trích, loại bỏ luật Obama Care thì phải sử dụng đúng thủ tục luật pháp với Toà Thượng Thẩm HK với các bằng chứng rằng luật nầy có nhiều nguy hại về phương diện nào. Tiếc thay hiện nay không có bằng chứng khả thi nào để xin Toà Thượng Thẩm huỷ bỏ hay hiệu đính, vì luật Obam Care chỉ mới bắt đầu thi hành từ 2014. Xin nhớ, kẻ chống đối luật nầy phải đợi thêm vài năm kể từ 2014, để thấy những ưu điểm hay khuyết điểm của luật nầy. Nhờ thế Toà Thượng Thẩm HK mới có đủ dữ kiện khả thi để quyết định.
Phải chăng đó là lý do TT Obama phát ngôn?

I'll always work with anyone of either party on ways to grow this economy, create new jobs, and get our fiscal house in order for the long haul. But not under the shadow of these threats to our economy.

Pass a budget. End this government shutdown.

Pay our bills. Prevent an economic shutdown.

These Americans and millions of others are counting on Congress to do the right thing. And I will do everything I can to make sure they do.

Xin đọc TT Obama phát ngôn:
"If you're in negotiations around buying somebody's house, you don't get to say, 'Well, let's talk about the price I'm going to pay, and if you don't give the price then I'm going to burn down your house.' That's not how negotiations work.... In the same way, members of Congress -- and the House Republicans in particular -- don't get to demand ransom in exchange for doing their jobs. And two of their very basic jobs are passing a budget and making sure that America is paying its bills."http://www.whitehouse.gov/share/heres-what-president-obama-said-week-about-government-shutdown?utm_source=email&utm_medium=email&utm_content=email244-graphic&utm_campaign=shutdown

I have found some answers to many questions about debt ceiling and how critical it will be if the debt ceiling (now $16.7 trillions) were not raised on the due date of October 17, 2013, then federal government debt defaults.
As a responsible voter I am so disappointed with many politicians' games. Do they have any knowledge about economics, social sciences, or national security...? It seems not when they refuse to raise the debt limit by even a feasible amount. In fact, they even propose deep and unreasonable spending cuts when they should search for additional sources of revenue - such as a higher tax on wealthy citizens.... Do they know that many wealthy citizens are willing to pay more taxes for many reasons such as patriotism, fairness, moral obligation, and their own safety. Imagine that an agreement is not reached in one more week - then senior citizens and poor people will not have enough money to survive. What are their survival reactions? Will they commit crimes such as robbery, .... The lack of consumption will make business suffer and layoffs will be necessary. Consequently, many current workers will be out of work, increasing social unrest... More and more consequences will follow.
The President has a responsibility to preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution, and this would seem to include doing whatever is necessary and proper to make sure that "the validity of the public debt of the United States" is not impaired. So,  is under the Fourteenth Amendment a reasonable argument can be made that not only does the President have the power to raise the debt limit, but the obligation to do so? Just a simple thought of a regular citizen without any legal background.If Republican Congress refuses to raise up the debt ceiling and to reopen the government, then in a week, what should President Obama do? Section 5 of the 14th Amendment reinforces Section 4. Of course, Congress has the "power to enforce, by appropriate legislation, the provisions of this article". Note that it doesn't say that this power is exclusively granted to Congress.  It's all about one's interpretation. Indeed, it appears that Congress is failing to preserve the validity of our debt. Therefore, if no action is taken by the deadline, a reasonable and logical argument can be made that the President should use an executive order to raise the debt limit. Wait and see.I  believe that our Congress and Mr. Boehner would negotiate seriously in the next few days so that the government will reopen and the debt ceiling will be raised. The fact is that the patterns of political agenda in 2011 doesn't work for this current scenario.  Some background:
Q: What is the debt ceiling?
A: It's a legal limit on how much debt the government can accumulate. The government takes on debt two ways: It borrows money from investors by issuing Treasury bonds, and it borrows from itself, mostly from the Social Security trust fund, which comes from payroll taxes. Congress created the debt limit in 1917. It's unique to the United States. Most countries let their debts rise automatically when government spending outpaces tax revenue. Congress has increased the debt limit 10 times since 2001.

Q: What is the federal deficit, and how does it differ from the debt?
A: The deficit is how much government spending exceeds tax revenue during a year. Last year, the deficit was $1.29 trillion. The debt is the sum of deficits past and present. Right now, the national debt totals $14.3 trillion — a ceiling set in 2010.

Q: Why is the prospect of not raising the debt ceiling so worrisome?
A: The government now borrows more than 40 cents of each dollar it spends. If the debt ceiling does not rise, the government would need to choose what to pay and what not, including benefits like Social Security, wages for the military or other bills. It also might delay interest payments on Treasury bonds. Any default could lead to financial panic weakening the country's credit rating, the dollar and the already hobbled economy. Interest rates would likely rise, increasing the cost of borrowing for the government and ordinary Americans.

Q: Who holds the $16.7 trillion in outstanding U.S. debt?
A: The U.S. government owes itself, mostly borrowed from Social Security revenues. The remaining amount is owed to investors in Treasury securities — banks, pension funds, individual investors, state and local governments and foreign investors and governments. 

Q: How did the debt grow from $5.8 trillion in 2001 to its current $16.7 trillion?
A: The biggest contributors to the nearly $10.9 trillion increase over 12 years were:
—2001 and 2003 tax cuts under President George W. Bush: $1.6 trillion.
—Additional interest costs: $1.4 trillion.
—Wars in Iraq and Afghanistan: $1.3 trillion.
—Economic stimulus package under Obama: $800 billion.
—2010 tax cuts, a compromise by Obama and Republicans that extended jobless benefits and cut payroll taxes: $400 billion.
—2003 creation of Medicare's prescription drug benefit: $300 billion.
—2008 financial industry bailout: $200 billion.
—Hundreds of billions less in revenue than expected since the Great Recession began in December 2007.
— Other spending increases in domestic, farm and defense programs
...
Public debt is a fact of life. The U.S. has had debt since its inception. Our records show that debts incurred during the American Revolutionary War amounted to $75,463,476.52 by January 1, 1791. Over the following 45 years, the debt grew. 

Notably, the public debt actually shrank to zero by January 1835, under President Andrew Jackson. But soon after, it quickly grew into the millions again.

The American Civil War resulted in dramatic debt growth. The debt was just $65 million in 1860, but passed $1 billion in 1863 and had reached $2.7 billion following the war. The debt grew steadily into the Twentieth Century and was roughly $22 billion as the country paid for involvement in World War I.

The buildup to World War II brought the debt up another order of magnitude from $51 billion in 1940 to $260 billion following the war. After this period, the debt's growth closely matched the rate of inflation until the 1980s, when it again began to increase rapidly. Between 1980 and 1990, the debt more than tripled. The debt shrank briefly after the end of the Cold War, but by the end of FY 2008, the gross national debt had reached $10.3 trillion, about 10 times its 1980 level.
