Yesterday…The Emperor granted to Pravda and Fox News, a Propaganda Conference.
How nice.
Throughout his telling of lies, The Emperor continually referred to raising the debt ceiling and the Republicans desire NOT to do so, as going to a restaurant and not paying the bill.
Excuse me but…If I didn’t have the money…If YOU didn’t have the money…WE wouldn’t GO to a restaurant for dinner.
At one point, the Emperor actually quoted John Boehner during LAST year’s debt ceiling debate in order to make his point on why there should be no argument about doing it AGAIN.
Ummm…Excuse me AGAIN but…
Back in 2006…The Emperor HIMSELF said…and I quote…
“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 U.S. Government can’t 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.”
I mean if we’re going to bandy about quotes regarding the debt ceiling which is directly relatable to our debt…
