'We raised the debt ceiling seven times during the bu$h* Administration'

[spanone]

i've yet to hear a democratic congressperson say this.

anywhere.

anytime.

you?

1. No. Nor have I heard any quote Cheney on deficits n/t

[Harry Callahan]

2. Sort of makes the debt ceiling look like a joke, eh?

[ejpoeta]

3. but that was back before deficits mattered. they still don't matter.... because if you hadn't

noticed, they still spend and spend. they just want us to cut back. they still spend on wars. and tax cuts for rich people. the only cuts I seem to hear about are for the rest of us. Have you noticed when they mentioned getting rid of the tax cuts for those jets that were like 4 billion, that was nothing. that wouldn't make a difference. but $4 billion that went to test for ecoli was $4 BILLION DOLLARS!!! any amount that is attempted to be taken from them is nothing and shouldn't be touched because it wouldn't make a difference, but anything, even if it is LESS than what they are being asked to give up which was nothing is some outrage and should be stopped immediately!

4. yah but Obama voted once to not raise it

they always answer. The media doesn't not want to have a story about the debt and the debt ceiling because people love "fear" TV.
