Quote of the Decade, maybe of our entire American history
The fact that we are here today to
debate raising America 's debt limit is a sign of leadership failure.
It is a sign that the US Government cannot pay its own bills. It is a
sign that we now depend on ongoing financial assistance from foreign
countries to finance our Government's reckless fiscal policies.
Increasing America 's debt weakens us domestically and internationally.
Leadership means that, "the buck stops here.' Instead, Washington is
shifting the burden of bad choices today onto the backs of our children
and grandchildren. America has a debt problem and a failure of
leadership. Americans deserve better.”
