REID AND
THE DEFAULT DEMOCRATS REJECT SECOND BILL TO ADDRESS DEBT CRISIS
Default Democrats In the Senate Voted
Against Cutting Spending.
Default Democrats Have Already Rejected
Cutting Spending To Address Debt Once, Voting To Kill Cut, Cap, And Balance Last
Week. “The Senate voted
51-46, along strict party-lines, on Friday to kill the House Republicans' ‘cut,
cap and balance’ legislation. The measure would have cut spending by $111
billion in 2012, capped spending over the next decade and prohibited more
borrowing until Congress had passed a balanced-budget amendment to the
Constitution.” (Josiah Ryan, “Senate Votes To Kill House
GOP's 'Cut, Cap And Balance' Budget Measure,” The
Hill,

REID AND
DEFAULT DEMOCRATS REFUSED TO ADDRESS DEBT CEILING IN MAJORITY
With Control Of Both Chambers, Reid And
Default Democrats Could Have Addressed Debt Ceiling But Refused.
“Reid also said that he
would like to push off raising the debt ceiling until next year — when
Republicans control the House, but that he has not discussed the matter yet with
his caucus. ‘Let the Republicans have some buy-in on the debt. They’re going to
have a majority in the House,’ said Reid. ‘I don’t think it should be when we
have a heavily Democratic Senate, heavily Democratic House and a Democratic
president.’” (Shira Toeplitz, “Reid: Tax Vote Coming
In 'Day Or Two',” Politico,
12/8/10)
· Reuters’ Felix Salmon: “Forcing a majority-Republican House to
vote to raise the debt ceiling might have seemed like a good idea at the time.
But it’s not exactly the epitome of leadership. Indeed, it seems to have led
the country straight into something which risks being downright
catastrophic.”

Debt-Ceiling Debacle,” Reuters’ Felix
Salmon, 7/26/11)

DEMOCRATS ARE TURNING THEIR WARNINGS INTO REALITY

first time, cannot pay its bills, if it defaults, then the consequences for the
U.S. economy will be significant and unpredictable. And that is not a good
thing.” (President Barack Obama,
News
Conference, 6/29/11)

Rock Our Financial System To Its Core.” “’Default will rock our financial system

the Senate session.” (Andrew Taylor, “House GOP Set To Vote On
Revamped Debt-Limit Bill,” The Associated

When The Economy Is Still In Rough Shape, The Consequences Of Government Default
Would Be Catastrophic.”

for college tuition, a car payment or a vacation would be down the drain paying
for higher interest rates.’”

Government Default Would Have ‘Catastrophic’ Effect,” The
Leader [Corning, NY],
