We shouldn't have a debt ceiling, our debt should only be limited by market forces, not by some arbitrary figure. If country are not willing to buy our debt at the interest rate offered that is your debt ceiling.Let's remember that we the Federal budget expires Oct. 1. So this argument about what we promised to pay only extends until then. The other problem with the democratic talking point is that the congress refuses to do it's job, so we never even get a vote on what our "obligations" are.
Many people are getting tired of these gottya phrases that are unthinking talking points made by lame politicians and their flunkies.
It is well past the time we should get serious about the problems facing the nation.
