The debt ceiling will have to be raised just to operate the government.

I cannot tell you how much I don't care.

Kill it. Kill it. We cannot get out of debt by increasing the size of our debt. We are going in the wrong direction, and we cannot reverse course by reducing the speed at which we go in the wrong direction.

I want cuts. I want reduction in debt. I will not support politicians who disagree.

You don't live in the real world. Exactly what would you stop funding? DOD? SS? Medicare? Medicaid? Not paying debt servicing costs?

I agree we need to cut spending including entitlement reform. But it has to be phased in. You just can't shut down the government cold turkey. What about our troops in combat? 54 million SS retirees, one third of whom depend entirely on SS for their income. 48 million on Medicare and 60 million on Medicaid. 43 million on food stamps.
