"The fact that we are here today to debate raising America’s debt limit is a sign of leadership failure. It is a sign that the U.S. Government can’t pay its own bills. It is a sign that we now depend on ongoing financial assistance from foreign countries to finance our Government’s reckless fiscal policies. … Increasing America’s debt weakens us domestically and internationally. Leadership means that “the buck stops here.” Instead, Washington is shifting the burden of bad choices today onto the backs of our children and grandchildren. America has a debt problem and a failure of leadership. Americans deserve better."
Senator Obama 2006
Hmmm I wonder where the leadership was on the debt ceiling 2 days ago... Americans did deserve better and have been trying to get this financial mess in order since 2010 and they elected tea party members to clean this nonsense. Even OBAMA in 2006 his own words raising the debt is a complete FAILURE and he voted to not do it and if enough people like him DID it would have shutdown the government! Yet 2 weeks of 17% of the government shutdown and OBAMA and the media blame republicans. Yet after 5 years of president OBAMA the debt ceiling continues to be raised at the same time and OBAMACARE LAW which will ADD to more Debt. Some how Ted Cruz is wrong here? Obama in 2006 and Ted Cruz sounded like the same people asking for leadership on the house floor and not wanting to ADD to the DEBT for whatever means needed to stop the continued "reckless fiscal policies" Even once OBAMA was right and then he became president and spends more money then all of the presidents before him.
You must not have gotten the memo.
1. It's only bad if the other side does it.
2. It's always the other sides fault.
3. It's only extortion when the other side does it.
4. Lying is acceptable because pee brained voters aren't smart enough to understand the truth.
5. Elected Reps are entitled.
