Behold our president:
"Now, this debt ceiling -- I just want to remind people in case you haven't been keeping up -- raising the debt ceiling, which has been done over a hundred times, does not increase our debt; it does not somehow promote profligacy.
Sheer coincidence that our debt keeps going up--it's a true mystery why there have been over a hundred increases in our debt limit.
Mind you, I have some sympathy that if Congress didn't want to borrow more money it could stop appropriating more money than we take in--which would make raising the debt limit a moot question--but so far a majority in Congress (and our president) are more interested in concrete spending programs than in abstract notions of reining in our exploding debt.
But if you think that the president is brilliant for saying what he said, try calling your credit card issuer and arguing that raising your credit limit in no way implies you will borrow more money.
It's almost like the president is a robot who had his First Law modified.
Good God, I picked the wrong week to quit sniffing glue. Our president is as good at math as he is at strategery.
