First Congress decides to spend money on something. After they get it, they have to decide whether or not to pay the bill. Sounds like one of my children. This debt limit BS is just a gimmick to screw with the President. Obama should just invoke the 14th Amendment to our Constitution and ignore the unconstitutional "debt limit".

Taxes are needed to pay for the pork these idiots vote for, but none of them want to raise taxes, so they borrow the money. If the Bush tax cuts had never been passed, we would have paid off the National debt in approximately 2006. But now, none of them have the guts to make the leap to higher tax rates for the wealthy. I don't expect any better of them this time either.
