Former Treasury Secretary Paul O'Neill likened Republicans who are trying to block raising the federal debt ceiling to terrorists.

"I think the people who threaten not to pass the debt ceiling are our version of al-Qaeda terrorists," O’Neill said in an interview Wednesday on Bloomberg Television’s InBusiness With Margaret Brennan. "They’re really putting our whole society at risk by threatening to round up 50 percent of the members of Congress -- who are loony -- who would put our credit at risk."

Hogwash!

How so?

Our present president, when he was a congressman, voted no on a vote to raise the debt ceiling stating that raising the debt ceiling was requested due to poor administration - so now this p**spoor administrator wants to raise the debt ceiling. He talks out of both sides of his mouth. I don't care who says we should give this free-spending prez an unlimited credit card, I say NO! We all learn to live within our limited income when we must. We pay our bills and then with any funds we have - if any - we select those segments of our lives that we want to fund. The gov't needs to learn this very simple way to live.
