"The President of the United States has absolutely no -- is in no position to talk about who's being 'reckless' with the debt. The real default has come from his lack of leadership on deficits and on debt. The federal deficit has been more than a trillion dollars all four years that he's been president. He's done absolutely nothing to curb these programs that will -- according to Democrats -- bankrupt us. And what has Harry Reid done in the Senate? What have Democrats done in the Senate? Absolutely nothing...1,357 days since Democrats passed a budget in the United States Senate.
"They'll say you can't do it on the debt ceiling, you can't do it with the fiscal cliff, you can't do it when you're shutting down the government...at some point, it becomes more reckless to continue raising the debt ceiling without having Democrats come forward with a budget..." ........
