Ted and bentway are posting as if they don't understand the concept of a debt limit. I wonder if they're just pretending or are really that dense.

>> Raising the debt ceiling allows us to pay the debt we have already accumulated. So, a credit card company raising your credit limit allows you pay off the credit card debt you've already accumulated? Really, what is the point in having a credit limit at all if running up more debt "allows" you to pay off what you already ran up before? God, you people are nuts. Why did Rs agree to the expenses if they had no intention of paying for them? Is that how wingers operate these days....you run up bills and then file bankruptcy? If so, your people need to get out of gov't completely. And be careful whom you call nuts. Teaper Rs pretty much have that designation cornered. Just sayin'. ;-)
