It means what it says.

I support Cruz generally but he is playing the same idiot political game all politicians do on this issue without regard to the consequences of their actions in the world economy.

In my view there should never be an issue regarding the debt. The idiots incurred the bills and we are on the hook..end of story.

I don't like it but a conservative always pays the bills incurred in the name of the United States in my universe.

The idea that somehow America would shirk this responsibility shows to me that Liberals and Liberaltarians are dead beats..and as I conservative I have no use for either.

And just where, did Ted Cruz say we should renege on paying our debt?

Please find and post the relevant speech or comment for us so we are all enlightened as you?!

No, what Ted Cruz was fighting for was the same leverage that has been used the LAST 55 times the Debt Ceiling has been raised, some sort of compromise to either decrease the growth IN THE FUTURE, or somehow limit the size of the government.

You do understand that they passed a “CLEAN” debt ceiling raise with no effort to get a compromise from the other side, right?

They CAPITULATED WITHOUT A FIGHT!
