Republicans voted to raise the debt ceiling when then voted for Ryan's plan.

[spedtr90]

Republican­s voted for the Ryan Budget. The Ryan Budget raises the debt ceiling.
Therefore, Republican­s already voted to raise the debt ceiling.

*NUMBER OF TIMES PAUL RYAN’S BUDGET WILL RAISE THE DEBT CEILING: 8 times. (The average debt ceiling increase is 800-billio­­n. Ryan’s budget increases the debt by $6-trillio­­n)

*NUMBER OF TIMES THE “PROGRESSI­­VE” BUDGET WILL RAISE DEBT CEILING: 0 times. The Progressiv­­e Budget actually balances the budget in 3 years, and creates surplus by 2021. It does this while saving Social Security and Medicare.

See it on pages 5 and 6 of Ryan's Plan. It says that in fiscal year 2012, the appropriate debt limit would be $16.2 trillion — nearly two trillion higher than it is now. In 2021, according to Ryan’s proposal, the proper debt limit would be $23.1 trillion — nearly $9 trillion higher than the present.

Same hypocrisy, different day. Is it too much to ask of The President and Democrats to point this out? While Republicans pretend they don't want to raise the debt deiling, Democrats pretend the Republicans really mean it. They do not talk about, in fact vote against, the Progressive Budget. If they're scared of the name "The People's Budget" (Oooo...sounds communist!) they could refer to it as "The We the People's Budget" Meanwhile the lot of them inflict more damage on the economy with the phony battle.

9. I thought about that

I AM sending it to my Democratic rep who voted against the Progressive Budget and my Senators who voted for it, but certainly did not support it in public, as far as I know. I am asking them to please reply. I want my rep to tell me why.

Considering letter to newspaper. I did post on FB, slightly revised to remain a member in "kinda good" standing with family members....

Since posting I read a partial transcript from FOX (Hannity's show) where Ron Paul says the Ryan Budget projects 26 years to balance the budget. (Progressive projects 10.) Hannity says thanks for being here...
