[QUOTE="moreluck, post: 863375, member: 1246"] Charles Krauthammer......... "I think one of the great achievements here is the debt ceiling is no longer a nullity. You know, the Democrats are arguing why are we doing this? We raised it 78 times since 1960 without anything happening. Yes, that's the point. That's why we're in the trouble we are today. We went 40 years ignoring what really was happening every time we raised the debt ceiling. Well now because of the "Boehner rule," which he invented on his own out of whole cloth in that speech he gave at the New York Economic Club a few months ago, in which he said a dollar of the debt ceiling increase has to be matched by dollar of spending cuts, which Jay Carney is right there is no logical connection, but now a political, indelible connection. Every time the debt ceiling comes up there is going to be a debate in the country. This is a real success."
