re: #23 RogueOne

That first paragraph was a paraphrase of the Obama speech when he voted “No” to increase the debt limit in 2006.

There’s nothing wrong with that first paragraph. We do have a debt problem. Some people want to make the problem even bigger, unnecessarily, by defaulting. They want to make the problem so big, that they can justify radical actions, like cutting social services without raising taxes.

I find it stunning that the problem is viewed as a CRISIS, yet not so bad that we could raise taxes a little bit.
