From CNS News: Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) said on Wednesday that if
the $16.394 trillion current legal limit on the federal government's
debt must be raised in the next few months by another $2.4 trillion,
“We’ll raise it."
That would set the debt limit at $18.794 trillion.
During a Capitol Hill press conference on Wednesday, CNSNews.com
asked: “Senator Reid, the Treasury Department said last week that we
will hit the debt ceiling again near the end of the year. Are you
prepared—will you support—"
“I think the debt ceiling will come after the first of the year,”
Reid said. “But please everyone accept this: They tried it before—they,
the Republicans".
"They tried it before – ‘We’re going to shut down the government, and
we’re not going to raise the debt ceiling,’” he said. “If they want to
go through that again, fine."
“But we’re not going to be held subject to something that was done as
a matter of fact in all previous administrations,” Reid said.
CNSNews.com then asked, “But will you support raising it by another $2.4 trillion?”
“If it has to be raised, we’ll raise it,” he said.
On Aug. 2, 2011, Congress and President Barack Obama reached a deal
to raise the debt ceiling by $2.4 trillion. Now, after only 15 months,
almost all of that additional borrowing authority has been exhausted,
according to the U.S. Treasury Department.
CNSNews.com reported
that Treasury quietly announced a week ago that it expects the federal
government to hit its legal debt limit before the end of this year. http://cnsnews.com/news/article/harry-reid-hiking-debt-limit-18794t-we-ll-raise-it
So, the Federal government blows through $2,400,000,000,000 in a little over a year and now they want to do the same thing again?
All this wonderful news right after the election.
So to Senile/Crybaby/Coward Harry Reid's Request:
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!
