On the recordMarch 7, 2006
I have another question. In looking over our third party validators, I am wondering if you have got the Secretary of the Treasury setting off alarm bells and really saying that there is fire in the theater, why is it that we have not seen an increase in the debt limit on the floor? Could it perhaps be that that is something that the Republican leadership thinks is unwise to have their Members vote on? Is it that this is not the first time, as I asked you earlier, that the debt limit has been increased? In looking at this chart just in the last few minutes, I notice that in June of 2002 the debt limit was increased by $450 billion. And who was President then?
