‘I Will Not Negotiate’
Posted by dave-dr-gonzo | September 28, 2013 10:50 | Filed under: Politics
I will work with anyone who wants to have a serious [conversation] about our economic future. But I will not negotiate over Congress’ responsibility to pay the bills it has already racked up. I don’t know how to be more clear about this: no one gets to threaten the full faith and credit of the United States of America just to extract ideological concessions. No one gets to hurt our economy and millions of innocent people just because there are a couple laws you don’t like. It hasn’t been done in the past, and we’re not going to start doing it now.
