That was the whole premise of the conversation - that in 10 days we were going to have that debt-ceiling crisis if he (and the other teabaggers) didn't get a Constitutional Amendment!You're so fucking easy!First of all, no one wanted to default on the debt
Mike Lee: I Want America’s ‘House To Come Down’ Unless Congress Votes To Rewrite Constitution
Easy because you don't read your own links. Nowhere did he say we would default on the debt. You never get tired of repeating a lie, do you?
Here ya go:
The Republican positions on raising the debt ceiling included:
- A Dollar-for-dollar deal; that is, raise the debt ceiling to match corresponding spending cuts[62]
- More of the budget cuts in the first two years[62]
- Spending caps[62]
- A Balanced Budget Amendment – to pass Congress and be sent to states for ratification[63][64]
- No tax increases but tax reform could be considered[65]
It was blackmail against the nation with a ransom that Americans opposed.
