If his policies are designed to reduce the debt, then why does he need to raise the debt ceiling?

If he’s going to cut spending soon, then why raise the debt ceiling more than the amount needed to get us to the point where he lowers the debt?

Shouldn’t he be able to lower the debt ceiling pretty soon?

He just claimed to have cut spending by $1T in 2011.

He should not need to raise the debt ceiling...

You'd think yours and all of the other excellent points posted so far could easily be made by the Pub *leadership*.

Sadly, I fear, that won't happen. They'll continue to be cowards and cave to whatever 0 asks for.

This bill guarantees the bastards will vote for a rise in the debt ceiling - it adds almost $4 trillion to the debt - and it does not contain ANY real spending cuts. What a deal - $1.00 in “cuts” for every $41 in taxes. Real cuts in spending will never happen - until the entire economy crashes. The U S has more debt per capita than Greece.

Don’t be silly. You have asked sensible and logical questions but we are dealing with Democrats and RINOs.
