“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 H. Obama, March    2006
