Hows that bank bailout going

You're such a turd, Dick. Of course they want us to raise the debt limit but they've also expressed concern about the deficit.

House Speaker John A. Boehner (R-Ohio) also found ammunition in the Moody’s report. He noted that it described the discussions over the debt ceiling as an opportune moment for the government to produce a long-range plan for cutting the federal budget deficit. Moody’s said the long-term credit rating would depend on the development of such a plan.

“This report makes clear that if we let this opportunity pass without real deficit reduction, America’s financial standing will be at risk,” Boehner said. “A credible agreement means the spending cuts must exceed the debt limit increase.”
