I think it has been inappropriate for the administration to raise the specter of a default on our debt.
Let's get real. Yes, we have to do spending and yes, we have to do revenue.
we did get 11 of 18 to agree--five Democrats, five Republicans, one Independent. And we reduced the debt $4 trillion over the next 10 years.
The President has to lead. The President has to say, 'This is what I would do to fix this problem.'
