Harry Reid, in 2006, on raising the debt limit

[Strychnine]

"Any credible economist would tell you we should be reducing debt not increasing it. Democrats won't be making arguments to support this legislation which will weaken our country... we're being asked to do what shouldn't be asked of us; to increase the debt to almost $9 trillion."






FF to 2012 and the debt is $16.2 trillion.
