Emerging from a meeting with President Obama Friday, House Democratic leaders are making clear they are prepared to give little ground when it comes to the ongoing negotiations surrounding the debate over raising the nation’s debt ceiling.
House Minority Whip Steny Hoyer:
“I think all of us agree, every Republican leader and every Democratic leader, agrees that defaulting on our debt is not an American value. Americans believe in paying their bills. Americans believe that we make a promise and we borrow money, we make a promise we're going to pay it back, we're going to pay it back. Holding hostage, the credit-worthiness of the United States of America is not a worthy bargaining chip."
Dem Caucus Vice Chairman Xavier Becerra:
“I think all of us agree, every Republican leader and every Democratic leader, agrees that defaulting on our debt is not an American value. Americans believe in paying their bills. Americans believe that we make a promise and we borrow money, we make a promise we're going to pay it back, we're going to pay it back. Holding hostage, the credit-worthiness of the United States of America is not a worthy bargaining chip.”
It goes like this
You can't keep borrowing money and only paying the interest. All that does is sink you further in debt....
The American people do say that we will pay it back ... and THEY do ... the government of the US ... No ... Just theinterest.
That is what is really unworthy of the Amercan peoples trust. Our government insults us and denigrates our hard work each and every time they do this.
Wake up Liberal Politicians.... You are killine this country.
Liberal Politicians? Conservative Politicians, along with a group of misguided, tricked, railroaded, literally scared Liberal Politicians, and a Conservative President and his posse is what 'killed' this country! Yes! Obama, a Liberal is in the WHITEHOUSE now, along with a bunch of left-over greedy Liberals in the Senate, and a house that is jacked up from top to bottom with old crooked GOP Representatives, and a bunch of anti-American 'Teabaggers'! A fool can see what OBAMA is up against! Greed and Hate!
The OBAMA Administration and many of our Liberal Politicians, and even a few your sane Conservative Politicians have worked so hard to break through this covertly estabished virtual wall of greed, selfishness, stubbornness, supremacy, undermining and sabatoging hate! As long as this demonic mindset prevails, we could soon see this nation become a third world nation before it allows any substantial level of progress or credit to be afforded this administration, for even starting to lift the nation! EVIL!
