"Wolf, I wanna get the American people the relief that they need from this out-of-control spending and I'll do everything that I possibly can to do that," Broun said at one point during the interview. "And Obamacare is going to destroy everything that we know as a nation. So we've got to focus on doing something to work for the American people."
<snip>
"Well, I've already told you today Obamacare is already destroying job creation," Broun said. "It's already hurting our economy. We've just got to put Obamacare on hold."
But Blitzer wouldn't let go of Broun's claim, ultimately giving the congressman a chance to "revise and amend" his words.
"Well, it's gonna take us off the edge economically. It's gonna destroy our economy," Broun said. "And it's going to push us into a total economic collapse of America. And that's exactly what I mean by, 'It's gonna destroy America.'"
So, Obamacare won't destroy America, violating the default limit will destroy America (and they have to destroy America, because Obamacare is even WORSE than destroying America!!).
Anyone have an antacid?

whole state's problem instead of just my district's.
