Already DID check the facts.

Accounting for inflation?
Speaking as a Brit and as a non-expert so I may not know the finer details, continually raising the debt doesn't look like the solution to anything. If all you do if raise it everytime you reach it, whats the point of even having one? A limit is just that, a limit! Both sides are still fighting for their own causes and failing to compromise. Feel they need to accept that they need to make a few (potentially) unpopular decisions like raises taxes and cutting speanding (in suitable areas), but as far as I can see, both parties are still fighting a popularity contest rather than actually governing.

The problem is not a revenue problem. Its clearly a spending problem. Taxes do not need to be raised, the government needs to make massive cuts in spending and focus on what it is there for, protection of its citizens from others, and stop with all the social programs that take away an individuals choice in how their life is run.

That is BS.
The debt was ok when Bush moved to the White house.
Did he increase social programs? Nope .
He cut taxes by trillions and sent billions on making war on the wrong people......
You can just undo everything he did and go back to the balanced budget you had under Clinton..
But that would mean Republicans need to admit they are the one that drove the debt up and admitting you did wrong doesn't seem to be part of their vocabulary...
