Re: Ted Cruz calls them out on the floor

Cruz's aides, who have Washington experience, understood what was going on, but he didn't.... Cruz is a lawyer. Lawyering is all about strategy - so is Washington and just about everyone there is a lawyer.

Accept the reality as it is and stop being pissed off that the imaginary transparent reality doesn't exist.

No shit it did. Conservatives using throw away money strategy again on Planned Parenthood.

As far as a default, spending is always higher than incoming tax revenue. The taxes ALL get spent. Debt who's term is up needs to be paid back in full. A June 10 year bond from 2005 needs to be paid back in full June of 2015. It's a continuous cycle. The treasury can only spend what it has. It can't make interest only payments on the billions of dollars in old debt that's due in full each month.
