Recent news from oppositeworld:
“Let me be clear, I do not support default on the debt and we should never default on the debt and the only players who are threatening to default are President Obama and Harry Reid. This is an issue, and earlier in the show you played the President threatening default. In any given month tax revenue are 200 billion and interest on the debt is 30 or 40 billion. There is plenty of revenue to service the debt and any responsible President would’ve stood at that podium and said ‘whatever happens with the debt ceiling, we will always pay our debt. We’ll never default on the debt’ and the reason the President isn’t doing that is he’s trying to scare people and raise the specter of financial apocalypse.”
- Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX)
So it’s Obama’s fault that the debt ceiling is being used by the GOP as a hostage to force spending cuts in earned benefit programs. Got it.
