Paul Ryan: Debt Limit Is 'Forcing Mechanism' For Ending Government Shutdown
Posted: 10/01/2013 2:35 pm EDT

WASHINGTON -- Rep. Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) said Tuesday that the best way for Congress to resolve the standoff over the government shutdown is to tie the matter to the looming fight over raising the debt ceiling.

"We have a debt limit coming," he told reporters. "Most budget agreements in the past have always involved debt limit increases. We think that's the forcing mechanism, just like the Budget Control Act that President Obama signed before."

Ryan was referring to the debt deal that Congress passed and President Barack Obama signed in 2011, which included, among other things, raising the debt ceiling and lining up sequestration cuts. Beyond that, Ryan pointed to the Bowles-Simpson deal, the 1997 budget agreement and the 1990 budget agreement as examples of other deals that came together in the context of raising the debt ceiling.

"That's what we think we need. A forcing action to bring two parties together," Ryan said. "We don't want to close the government down. We want it open. But we want fairness ... We want a budget agreement that gets the debt under control."

Read between the lines. You know what Ryan is essentially saying? The Dems better adopt deep spending cuts along the lines of Romney's economic plan. If not, they won't raise the debt ceiling and they will keep the government shut down.

These guys are terrorists.

2. Obama should just do it on his own.

This Congress has no ability to function and has proven itself unfit to govern. Desperate times call for desperate measures. He cant let them drag us off that cliff.

7. Paul Ryan is so yesterday, a really poor national ticket politician.

Romney was a really rotten candidate, Ryan was not much better. There is a new idiot in town who has managed to out demagogue you and grab attention in the House from the floor of the Senate. Poor Paul try and grab some press but you are not the biggest asshole sitting on the toilet.
