1) “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.”
