There isn’t much choice. Tax revenues barely cover the cost of interest on the national debt and Health and Human Services. If they don’t raise the debt ceiling, they would have to shut down the government.

It took a long time to get into this mess and it’s going to take years to fix it. Even going back to 2008 spending levels would mean laying off 200,000 federal employees.

REALITY REQUIRES a raise in the debt ceiling. If we default, our recession so far will seem like a walk in the park.

What they should do is require that any raise in the debt ceiling is combined with XXX amount of spending cuts.

You don’t default on your mortgage to spite your neighbor, and that’s basically what some Freepers have been suggesting.

the raising of the debt ceiling is not even remotely uncertain. it will happen no matter what anyone says, because congress with be threated with ‘riots and tanks in the streets’ if they dont do it. Enjoy your disappointment.

Here is his site front page:

My POSITION on raising the debt ceiling --The debt ceiling must not be raised. Government should immediately stop deficit spending.

Would you support raising the debt ceiling IF a repeal of ObamaCare is attached to the bill? --No

Would you support raising the debt ceiling IF specific reductions and caps in spending are either already in place or attached to the bill? --No

Why have a debt ceiling if you can change it when needed?
