From 2006, from the mouth of Senator Obama:
Democrats in control of Congress, including then-Sen. Obama (Ill.), blasted President George W. Bush for failing to contain spending when he oversaw increased deficits and raised the debt ceiling.
“Washington is shifting the burden of bad choices today onto the backs of our children and grandchildren,” Obama said in a 2006 floor speech that preceded a Senate vote to extend the debt limit. “America has a debt problem and a failure of leadership.”
Now, Congress will be asked(and most will vote yes) to raise the debt ceiling to over 12 trillion dollars.
12 trillion dollars, and the real spending has just begun!
Words and numbers, in our real world, have meaning.
Apparently, for the President and most of Congress, they don't.
