Okay, first things first. Read this paragraph. Don't watch the video yet. Just read the text, and see what you think.
“Congress consistently brings the Government to the edge of default before facing its responsibility. This brinkmanship threatens the holders of government bonds and those who rely on Social Security and veterans benefits. Interest rates would skyrocket, instability would occur in financial markets, and the Federal deficit would soar. The United States has a special responsibility to itself and the world to meet its obligations. It means we have a well-earned reputation for reliability and credibility — two things that set us apart from much of the world.”
Pretty much boilerplate Democratic thinking on the need to raise the Debt Ceiling, right?. That's the text of the speech you're about to hear on the embedded video.
But listen to it, and prepare to be shocked! Shocked I tells ya! Because this is a video from the House Democratic Caucus, espousing the "Liberal" position, and look who it is who's doing the speaking.
It just goes to show you. Republicans love Ronald Reagan. They worship Ronald Reagan. They just wouldn't let the actual Ronald Reagan into their party.
