Raising the Debt Ceiling

Tea partiers, What the fuck is wrong with you? You're about to cause the US treasury to default on its loans. Isn't that exactly the kind of shit a fiscal conservative would want to prevent?

refuses to address the spending that created it.
That's just blatantly false.

You can't increase revenue every time you run out of other people's money. Spending is the problem.
Nice false dichotomy, dipshit. The dems' plan was to do both reduce spending and increase revenue and surprise! the Tea Party loons rejected it since they'd rather the country default than the president succeed.
