Month: January 2013

Fixing the Debt Ceiling

  In the fight over the debt ceiling, we keep hearing that Republicans should demand spending cuts in exchange for raising the debt ceiling. They should be demanding entitlement reform or tax reform. These are things we all desperately need, but it misses the point of the debt ceiling.

I connected with Tami and got to know many of the Tribbles back in May, after my appearance on the Hugh Hewitt show. As I got to know all of you and followed your twitter feeds, I saw that most...
