Nothing wrong for a grown man to cry. It shows he has real emotions. Not like the fake dems who use emotions on just about every issue,IE, It is for the children, throw the old people under the bus, old folks will be eating dog food, etc. etc., etc.
I didn't say it was wrong. If funny and amusing were wrong, there would be a hell lot of wrong. Heck, I enjoy the show and if you're interested would love to provide you with a clip.
Let's hope he is serious. For one thing, they need to make sure they pass the trillions in cuts and sign it in to law BEFORE they raise the debt limit. An agreement to make cuts is not enough because Harry Reid and Obama can always back out once they have the extention to the debt ceiling.
Fine, how many democratic votes will he need to pass the raise in the limit and what is he willing to give up to get them. Otherwise he will be responsible for the default

Next time post this line first so I can ignore you as you clearly don't know anything about economics and have bought in to the lefty argument that reducing taxes somehow reduces revenue. Everytime taxes have been reduced it has increased the revenue that government takes in. The idea that tax cuts have to someohow be 'baid for' if Democrat-spun propaganda. Learn from history.

If you are laughing now, and were laughing then, you probably aren't paying federal income taxes. The current share of the debt per taxpayer is $129,000.00 U.S. National Debt Clock : Real Time
