Democrats before Iraq War started

"I refuse to leave our children with a debt they cannot repay,"

Reminds me of when he said...

"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 US Government cannot

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."
