Debt Ceiling Hypocrisy

I wear my sunglasses at night
So I can, so I can
Watch you live and breathe your story lines
--Cory Hart

Rick Santelli observes classic hypocrisy of politicians from both sides of the aisle related to the debt ceiling. Examples are many and start at the top with the president himself. This is confirmation bias at its best (worst). When your party is in charge, you see things differently than when someone else's party is in charge.

The fact that we are here today to debate raising America’s debt limit is a sign of leadership failure. It is a sign that the U.S. Government can’t pay its own bills. It is a sign that we now depend on ongoing financial assistance from foreign countries to finance our Government’s reckless fiscal policies. … Increasing America’s debt weakens us domestically and internationally. Leadership means that ‘the buck stops here. Instead, Washington is shifting the burden of bad choices today onto the backs of our children and grandchildren. America has a debt problem and a failure of leadership. Americans deserve better.
~Senator Barack Obama
