How to Lose Friends and Demotivate People


Jack "S" Lew

Treasury Secretary Jack Lew on Friday urged congressional leaders to raise the debt limit and insisted that the White House is not going to negotiate over the increase because lawmakers have "no choice." "We will not negotiate over the debt limit," Lew wrote. "The creditworthiness of the United States is non-negotiable. The question of whether the country must pay obligations it has already incurred is not open to debate."

Of course it's open to debate, Cracker Jack.  You've been Secretary of the Treasury less than 3 months and now you think you are a dictator?  You've just set back any possibility of the debt ceiling being raised for at least 3 months.  And when it is raised it will be despite you not because of you.
