We will just agree to disagree. In any event, it is not going to happen. Dems and Reps will vote to increase the debt ceiling because it is the only way our government can continue to operate. We need to go after the cause of the problem, not the symptom.
But I will agree that going after the cause and not the symptom is the right approach. I just think that allowing deficit spending IS the cause. You think deficit spending is unavoidable and that it should be facilitated by Republicans by raising the debt ceiling. I say go after the cause and shut the government down until the Democrats get very serious about a debt reduction plan.
