While the United states Armed Forces (private mercenaries) are stationed at 737 bases, in 130 nations around the world, defending “all freedom-loving people everywhere in the world,” Democratic (socialist/fascist) de facto President Obama (either a natural born subject of the United Kingdom enclave of Kenya, or a natural born resident of the republic of Hawaii) signs the Budget Control Act of 2011, raising the national debt limit from 14,294,000,000,000 to 14,694,000,000,000 “dollars”; and  creating the unlawful joint select committee on deficit reduction, a 13 member panel composed of six senators and six representatives, half of them Democrats and the other half Republican (fascist/socialist), the president being the unofficial 13th member.  The committee has the power to draft legislation, which may not be amended in either house of CONgress, blocked from a vote in the house of representatives (by the speaker), or filibustered in the senate (that requires a 60% vote to break).
