What the Tea Baggers are doing is essentially trying to rewrite the fire evacuation plan while the building is on fire, and refusing to call the fire department until everyone agrees to their terms. The new 'compromise' in Washington, where you threaten the other side until they agree to your terms, is going to destroy this country. The debt ceiling has been raised numerous times in the past without issue and without strings attached, why start now?
I am not debating the fact that we need to address our spending, but I think that needs to be a separate discussion from raising the debt ceiling. One thing that all of the fucktards in Congress need to understand is that this problem can only be solved by raising taxes AND cutting spending. One if those simply will not help.
