DeMint walks in the foot steps of greatness like Jefferson, Washington and Adams.

Only in government is it a bright idea to raise the credit limit when the entity becomes even more insolvant.

This is the bottom line difference between a sane caring person over finances and survival, and some irresponsible investor on drugs... err... I meant government.

You’re way out of line. The men you reference risked their lives to birth this country. DeMint has risked nothing. By putting DeMint on the same level of the Founding Fathers you diminish their accomplishment. It’s like calling the people who died on 9-11 heroes. They were not. They were tragic victims—nothing more. I’m tired of people being placed on platforms they have not earned.

It matters not what DeMint says. It matters what he’s actually done, is doing and will do. Aside from words, what has DeMint done to earn the genuine conservative label?

All you bots out there—Huckabeebot, Romneybot, Paulbot, Perrybot et al—get a life!!!

>> The larger problem for DeMint is the government’s $14.3 trillion debt, the equivalent of $46,580 for every man, woman and child in the U.S.

I guestimated it was about $160k for the average family a while ago.

We have every reason to hold the DC tax and spenders in contempt.

Washington, Jefferson and Adams would likely have called DeMint onto the field of honor for a duel if they didn't outright call for a charge of treason. The idea that the constitution needs to be amended to require congress to act responsibly in making appropriations would be completely and utterly alien to any of the founding fathers.

Borrowing for a war is understandable. Borrowing to give that money to others as a gift would outright horrify them.

Congress needs no such rule to do their job. And every single one who fails to do their job should have the common courtesy to resign their positions to open the seat for people who will treat the public’s money as being the precious hard earned dollars that they are.

Instead of a BBA we need a SBA Surplus Budget Amendment.

Jim DeMint is a good and decent man. He is honest and doesn’t pull any punches.

I don’t spend a lot of time buying or reading political books. My favorite was Mark Levin’s (I have a signed copy). But I think I’ll buy Jim’s book. He’s MY senator (I’m in SC) and it seems like something I should have on my book shelf beside Mark’s book.

DeMint supported a plan that would have raised the debt ceiling $2.4 TRILLION dollars.

So, all this puffery on his behalf here this morning is downright silly.
