What figure did I use?
vette, you know all appropriation bills must pass out of the House before they can become law, and the debt ceiling cannot be raised without a bill raising the ceiling passing out of the House, too...
...the Republicans have had the majority power in the House to prevent basically any spending they desire.
Even if I go Superpartisan and fantasize Republicans haven't added a penny to the debt in the last two years...
...can you tell me anything they've done that has even begun lessening the debt in those same two years?
Go ahead and use any debt figure you prefer for a starting reference point...
