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?

Unfortunately, the government takes in more than it gives back while refusing to curb waste and unnecessary spending. Entitlements will bankrupt the government regardless. The trade deficit can't be fixed without igniting trade wars.

Your theory might have worked if we didn't have trillions of debt piling up. It's a bit late to find a bigger cliff to jump off. If spending was kept under control in the first place, we'd be in a better position in order to deal with the failing economy.

We raised the limit just in time for it all to fall apart anyway.
