US Rep Adam Kinzinger (R-IL): "Raising Debt Ceiling IS Compromise"

This was very well put. The establishment MSM is painting the GOP as kamikazes willing to take down the economy as long as Obama goes with it. It is a false narrative of course since the GOP is willing - and in fact has the only plan since Obama and the Democrats refuse to propose one - for reducing the deficit and raising the debt ceiling. Via BreitbartTV:

"Like I said, truly, there is a feeling in my caucus, and in me specifically, I can say, that I feel we are willing to compromise by coming to the table and saying we understand we'll have to raise the debt limit specifically, but we have to get ourselves on a fiscal trajectory, because look, we've spent too much money. We have the same tax rates, the same two wars, the same prescription drug benefit in 2007, but the deficit then was $161 billion. This year it's $1.5 trillion.”

Could be exhibit 'A' as to why the debt ceiling should not be raised.
