Lest we forget:


“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.”
 
Senator Barack Hussein Obama, March 2006
