Survey Says

Cathy McMorris Rodgers posted a survey asking us what Congress should do about the debt ceiling.
I enjoyed how the answers are worded, so much so that I thought I'd offer up some of my own.

* No - Congress has been consistently irresponsible in fiscal matters and America should finally pay the price for it even though it would make the economy even worse than it is
* Yes - Congress has been consistently irresponsible in fiscal matters and wants to lower taxes more and add to the debt
* Yes - Congress has been consistently irresponsible in fiscal matters and this would allow more gridlock so each party can blame the other
* Yes - Congress has been consistently irresponsible in fiscal matters and raised the ceiling 74 times in under 50 years. And ten of those increases have occurred over the past decade when there has been a record run-up in debt.
For some reason she didn't discuss the ramifications of not raising it again. Of course, there may be other reasons.
