Favorite Debt Ceiling Quotes

1. "If we had decided on January 5, in the new House of Representatives, to make no new spending bills, the debt ceiling would've still been hit, because, those are bills that are coming in as a result of purchases and commitments made by the administration and the previous Congress."
Author: Bill Johnson
2. "There was no avoiding the fact that we were going to hit our debt ceiling."
Author: Bill Johnson
3. "If it took multiple debt ceiling hikes, I'd rather achieve the savings."
Author: Bob Corker
4. "Most of the major increases in the debt ceiling have been accompanied by structural changes in the way we raise and spend money."
Author: Charles Bass
5. "The Republican argument that raising the debt ceiling encourages additional future spending is logically irresponsible. The debt ceiling has to be raised to authorize spending already approved by Congress. Despite that fallacy, the GOP has been able to score political points with its argument."
Author: Eliot Spitzer
6. "Obama has been perhaps the most partisan President since Truman. He hasn't learned to be civil - note his insulting speech to Paul Ryan, who did us the courtesy of scoring a budget. The president has to talk to Republicans when it comes to the debt ceiling. He has reached the debt ceiling before anyone expected."
Author: Grover Norquist
7. "Raising the debt ceiling is not additional spending. It is simply saying, you, the United States of America, can continue to borrow the money you need to pay the bills you have already rung up."
Author: Jay Carney
8. "The debate we won't be having is whether or not the debt ceiling should be raised. We will not have a situation where people will hold the American economy hostage in order to achieve a specific agenda - at least not until 2013. So we think that is incredibly important as a matter of economic good."
Author: Jay Carney
9. "Hikes in the debt ceiling - without any political demands from the opposition party - had been routine until President Obama took office."
Author: Juan Williams
10. "I would vote against raising the national debt ceiling. Again, this is about mortgaging the future of unborn generations of Americans. It's a form of taxation without representation. I don't think we can do that."
Author: Mike Lee
11. "It is simply science fiction fantasy to say that, if you do not raise the debt ceiling, that everything is going to collapse."
Author: Mike Lee
12. "America pays its bills. It always has. It always will. The fact that Washington is now debating whether to honor its debts and obligations, then, should come as a surprise. But playing political football with a necessary vote to raise the nation's debt ceiling has become as predictable as a Twitter rant from Charlie Sheen."
Author: Peter Welch
13. "If you ask the question of Americans, should we pay our bills? One hundred percent would say yes. There's a significant misunderstanding on the debt ceiling. People think it's authorizing new spending. The debt ceiling doesn't authorize new spending; it allows us to pay obligations already incurred."
Author: Peter Welch
14. "The economy is terrible it's been terrible for years now, and the reason it's bad is not because of a debt-ceiling vote. The reason it's bad is because we have people who believe that by making government bigger by keeping people on unemployment checks and on welfare we're going to dig us out of this mess."
