He proved your grasp of history matches your grasp of mathematics.

Which still doesn't disprove one obvious fact: He struck a deal with the democrats and they never followed thru with that deal. That's why Boehner isn't buying the spending cuts "promised" by Obama and the Democrats. Its all vapor but one thing will be guaranteed. Tax hikes.

Thats absolutely true. Thats why any talk of spending cuts have to be real and effective as in the proposal they passed last week.

However it doesn't appear that Obama is serious and using the debt ceiling debate as a political reelection tool. When Boehner mentioned that Obama said that he wanted more tax hikes, just shows he's not serious and using the debt ceiling debate as a gimmick.

You only proved my statement was correct. He struck a deal with the democrats and they never followed thru with that deal. Twisting words don't make it any less true my friend.

Here is your statement:

When Reagan was negotiating with the democrats (who had both houses) he struck a deal with them...

That statement is patently false and you continue to defend it and paint other members here as incapable of grasping the truth.

Reagan passed the debt ceiling 17 times.

"The debt ceiling was raised 17 times when Ronald Reagan was president, and as Alan Simpson – former Sen. Simpson said – that when push came to shove, Reagan agreed 11 times to packages that included revenue for the good of the country, for the good of compromise."

In particular, Democrats note that in 1983 Reagan sent a letter to Howard H. Baker (R-Tenn.), the Senate majority leader at the time, calling for his support in raising the debt ceiling.

"This letter is to ask for your help and support, and that of your colleagues, in the passage of an increase in the limit on the public debt," Reagan's letter to Baker began.

"Henceforth, the Treasury Department cannot guarantee that the Federal Government will have sufficient cash on any one day to meet all of its mandated expenses, and thus the United States could be forced to default on its obligations for the first time in its history," Reagan wrote.

It seems like diversions and twisting words is your only defense, regardless of any truth.

It seems that you are the one that cannot defend your words. You wrote them, not me.

The facts defend themselves. You would rather spin, then debate the facts. It must be a big day for you.

Bill Gross of PIMCO (who manages one of the worlds largest mutual funds) and often tapped for financial insight, has said the very same thing as I mentioned earlier.

Gross: Don't trust any debt ceiling numbers. Most cuts will be fiction and swamped by lower revenues from lower GDP growth.
