The fellow travelers keep talking about the need to end austerity. Where is it? (http://www.cnbc.com/id/102459024) If we truly had any, we would not be approaching another debt limit.
Congress should say NO and slash spending. We should not have a deficit, much less one closing back in on $1T per year. We need to start jailing Congressmen who continue to spend like drunk seamen during fleet week. Sorry Del.
US hits debt limit March 16th: Treasury Secretary Jack Lew says the Treasury will need to take extraordinary measures to finance the government on a temporary basis, reports. Unless Congress (http://www.cnbc.com/id/10000887) takes action, the U.S. will hit its debt limit on Mar. 16, but would begin taking "extraordinary measures" to finance the government on a temporary basis, according to the U.S. Treasury (http://www.cnbc.com/id/10000894).
In a Friday morning letter to House Speaker John Boehner (http://www.cnbc.com/id/10000453) and other House and Senate leaders, Treasury Secretary Jack Lew (http://www.cnbc.com/id/10000444) said that his office will be forced to suspend the issuance of State and Local Government Series securities on Mar. 13 unless the debt limit is raised.
"Accordingly, I respectfully ask Congress to raise the debt limit as soon as possible," Lew wrote in his letter.
