Government shutdown looms—Dems and GOP still arguing over bar tab on the Titanic
Quibbling over whether to cut $33 billion or $40 billion from a single year of $3.69 trillion spending is like arguing over the bar tab on the Titanic. Our country is sinking in debt
As a senator Obama chastised the GOP for raising the debt ceiling as "a failure of leadership".
As recently as 2004, the debt limit was $7.384 billion. It is now $14.294 Trillion and congress prepared soon to raise it again. See how fast our debt is rising here. Congress has voted on the debt limit several times in the past few years. While those votes are sometimes forgettable, occasionally they are not.
