Seeing as the debt ceiling has nothing to do with future spending, or the deficit, don't you think it would simply be better to plan the future spending in a more responsible way?

Since we spent this $2 trillion long ago I trust there won't be any other crazy spending plans.
Just the current Ryan budget awaiting passage.

Guess IMO it comes down to military spending preserving independence while entitlement spending creating dependence. I'd rather be independent while some prefer a hangy, dried up tiat to suck on.
You mean, independent like ... oh, Haliburton? Lockheed? TASC?

Ah, found this quote today:

Quote:
"We have superceded Congress to facilitate 750 billion dollars in domestic cuts including Medicare in order to end an artificially-induced political hostage crisis over debt, originating from the bills run up by a Republican president who funneled billions of taxpayer dollars to the military-industrial complex by unfunded, unnecessary, and unproductive wars, enabled in doing so by the very same Republican leaders who now cry for balanced budgets - and we have called it compromise. "
The debt deal just done has guaranteed our continuing crappy recession and continuing unemployment for the next couple of years. Enjoy the fruits of a proven-disastrous financial ideology.
