The Only Thing We Have to Fear
I think President Obama needs a little Franklin Delano Roosevelt in him.
A number of people in government have called for Obama to invoke the 14th amendment to the Constitution and increase the debt ceiling by presidential declaration. He has said that his lawyers have advised that doing so might not be consittutional.
FDR approached things differently. Some of his actions and projects, initiated during the Greaat Depression, in time came to be called unconsitutional by the Court. However, by the time all the legal wrangling was over he had accomplished what was necessaary for the country.
Mr. Obama needs to stick his neck out a little and do now and worry about it later.
