Title: Tea Party Congressman: Raising Debt Ceiling IS Compromise

Freshman Representative Adam Kinzinger (R-IL) explained to the "Meet the Press" roundtable that Congress agreeing to a raise in the debt ceiling is a compromise in and of itself and that the Administration's side of the compromise needs to be a reduction of spending.

"Like I said, truly, there is a feeling in my caucus, and in me specifically, I can say, that I feel we are willing to compromise by coming to the table and saying we understand we'll have to raise the debt limit specifically, but we have to get ourselves on a fiscal trajectory, because look, we've spent too much money. We have the same tax rates, the same two wars, the same prescription drug benefit in 2007, but the deficit then was $161 billion. This year it's $1.5 trillion.” 72;72;

This is exactly right. It's about time that someone said it.

The House already passed a bi-partisan bill to raise the debt ceiling and cut spending.

The Democrat Senate refused to allow people to vote on it.

When big portions of the government shut down next Monday because the government can't borrow any more money, the fault will lie with Harry Reid and the Democrats in the Senate.

what on earth are you talking about?

On another thread you've argued that the default won't be a big deal and you didn't even notice the last time the government shut down - so what exactly is the fault of Reid and the Democrats? You are going to "blame" them if the government can't spend more than it takes in? Seriously? You seem to have stopped thinking through any of your arguments as of late.

Let me explain it to you simpleton. The House already passed a bill. Time for the Senate to do the same and time for the pretend boy president to sign onto it.

BTW, Cut, cap and trade raises the debt ceiling by trillions of dollars. Maybe you missed that?

Unfortunately it is the best plan that can pass right now.

I'd rather they go with Rand Pauls plan.

If Obama was smart he would sign the bill and take credit for cutting spending. Even though this bill doesn't cut it enough.

it can't pass now.

Even most tea partiers would rather raise taxes on the top bracket then balance the budget by cutting services to the poor, retired, infirmed, and military vets.

Or if Republicans didn't insist on balancing a budget on the backs of the poor/retired/disabled.

What a bunch of BS. The rich already pay the most. The bottom 50 percent don't pay any taxes. And not only that they get welfare, food stamps, health care etc. And now apparently 180,000 dollar homes. Enough is enough. Help the truly needy but not the dead beats anymore. The deadbeats are about 95 percent of the people who get government handouts.

Yep. 25% of people over 65 have pension and investment incomes that classify them as wealthy. Why should young families pay Social Security taxes to support them?

Why should we pay taxes to study the drinking habits of prostitutes in China, or whether the size of a gay man's penis makes him more likely to be on the top or on the bottom?

Why should we pay farmers not to grow food?

Why should we pay for over 30 welfare programs and 100 different job training programs?

Why should we pay to have the Commerce Department to advertise on behalf of American businesses abroad? Can't businesses pay fir their own advertising?

On and on... The question is why?
