Sen. Rand Paul plans to filibuster “until we talk about the debt ceiling” in the Senate, he told C-SPAN’s “Newsmakers,” as conservative Republican freshmen raise their voices in an attempt to influence their party.
In an interview posted to C-SPAN on Sunday, the Kentucky Republican said he and a group of other conservatives would support raising the debt ceiling if the chamber passes a balanced budget amendment to the Constitution.
“I’m part of the freshman group in the Senate that’s saying no more. ... So [this] week, we will filibuster until we talk about the debt ceiling, until we talk about proposals,” he said.
“And many of us in the conservative wing are going to present our own proposal [this] week, and that is to raise the debt ceiling. We will actually vote in favor of raising the debt ceiling [this] week if we can, but it’ll be contingent upon passing a balanced budget amendment to the Constitution.”

Obama has the money and the Power to do what he wants; this is a dog n pony show.
131-Uhh...the USA doesn't have any money. We've maxed out all the credit cards and spend annually 35% more than we take in through revenues(taxes). Obama isn't God. He's an empty suit.
I know who the dog is but who is the pony?
