A Walk Down Memory Lane

You really have to love video vaults.

Thanks to our friends at Think Progress, we have video from some of today’s teabag members of Congress urging that the debt ceiling be raised.

Under the leadership of House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) and House Majority Whip Eric Cantor (R-VA), the Republicans continue to precipitate a stalemate over the debt ceiling and a possible economic crisis. As ThinkProgress’ Zaid Jilani and Travis Waldron have reported, not only did the Republican leadership vote multiple times for clean debt ceiling hikes under more favorable political circumstances, but no less than 98 currently serving House GOP members did so as well.

Enjoy.

    George Bush raised the debt ceiling seven times while doubling the national debt. Ronald Reagan raised the debt ceiling eighteen times while tripling the national debt.
