I think the point he is trying to make is that where were the Dems when these charges were run up, and I agree with the point. Why are we suddenly hitting the debt ceiling? Does noone in Washington have a calculator?

In the opposition? With a minority of votes, voting against this stuff? That's not good enough?

We aren't suddenly hitting the debt ceiling, we've been hitting it every year or two like clockwork for decades. It was raised over a dozen times during the Reagan administration, for example. Suddenly?
