No!! Absolutely Not!!

Obama's proposed solution to the fiscal cliff isn't about taxes and stimulus. That was to be expected. But his plan includes giving the Executive Branch (Obama) the power to raise the U.S. debt limit. Not just no, but HELL NO! 
Power corrupts.  Absolute power corrupts absolutely.  Give a single man power over YOUR money and you have given him absolute power over YOU.  Would you hand over your bank account to your best friend and let him control your life?  WHY would you give it to Obama or Bush or Reagan or George Washington, Adams or Jefferson!!!

There's a reason all legislation having to do with money has to start in the House of Representatives (which is why Obamacare is illegitimate - it started in the Senate.) The reason "money" starts in the House is because, with local representation at it's highest there, the House is closest to "the people." The Senate has two representatives per state no matter how big or small the state is. The House has hundreds of elected representatives.
Even then, the legislation has to go to the Senate for approval, and to the Executive Branch to be signed.  It's called OVERSIGHT.  If you give a single person the power to raise the U.S. debt limit, where's the oversight? 

Contrary to popular belief, America is NOT a democracy - it is a representative form of government. It is that way because, even in the age of computers and the internet, it would be impossible to get every American to vote on every piece of legislation. It is much more manageable to have voters choose a representative to do that for them - hence the House of Representatives. SO CALL YOUR REPRESENTATIVE AND TELL HIM, "HELL NO!" TO GIVING THE EXECUTIVE BRANCH ANY MORE POWER OVER YOUR MONEY!! Google your representative and email him - often! Don't know who he/she is? Call your local elections office. Do it NOW!
