That's why she doesn't believe in a debt ceiling. She doesn't want to have to add.

She said the biggest issue is Congress isn’t raising the debt limit quickly enough???? Is that all I have to do is keep raising my credit limit to get out of debt? Fuk!! I have been doing it all wrong.

So the only thing that we can do is just add more debt to the 35 trillion that we already have and then in about another 10 years the number one expenditure of the federal government will be debt service. Simply brilliant!

Most congressmen/women don't understand economics and if they do, they largely ignore the pit we, as a nation, are in. Instead of climbing out with a series of successful good moves, they dig ever deeper by spending $$ they don't have.
