From TEA Party Patriots:
At this very moment members of congress are trying to decide what pieces of America's future they will trade away as part of a deal to raise the debt ceiling. We've had the chance to talk with many of them. And even most of those who claim to be on the side of fiscal responsibility are giddy with excitement that they can trade their vote on this debt ceiling "crisis" in exchange for a handful of magic beans offered by the liberals. Our answer is simple.
It is not acceptable to use the future of America as a bargaining chip.
Do not raise the debt ceiling.
PERIOD.
You will be told 4 lies (at a minimum) by those who want to raise the debt ceiling. The lies will be packaged and presented in many different ways, but in general they will all boil down to these 4 (remember them and don't be fooled):
Big Lie 1: "The current financial crisis was inherited."
Big Lie 2: "There's no way to cut enough spending. So we must raise the debt ceiling."
Big Lie 3: "We can haggle for some really great deals now that we have them over a barrel."
Big Lie 4: "You just don't understand all of the complicated details. Let us handle it. We're smart."
