I had not heard that...when did that happen and in what context. Is there a story you can link that would tell be all about it?

Thanks

Tea Party Freshmen in Congress Face Reality Check

AOL

WASHINGTON (Nov. 20, 2010) -- New Republican House members had barely settled in for freshman orientation this week when their leader delivered a disorienting message.

Sure you campaigned to slash out-of-control government spending, incoming Speaker of the House John Boehner said, but one of the first votes you will cast will be to raise the debt ceiling.

"We're going to have to deal with it as adults," the head of the Republican establishment said. "Whether we like it or not, the federal government has obligations and we have obligations on our part."
