Regan raised the debt ceiling 17 times...and the dems didnt threaten to shut down the country. That is the difference between reepublicans and dems.
The debt level was much different.
Not to mention at no time did we increase the ceiling in the amount that Obumble wants.
let him babble on, the ceiling was below flat by any comparison with gdp in that era, the increments were small even in those dollars.
