.@repjustinamash Sir - whole point of sequester, as u know, was to avoid it, BECAUSE it's devastating. Need to pass balanced buy-down.
@Walters_Ego @marhearn I didn't. It wasn't close to sufficient to justify raising debt ceiling by more than $2T.

@repjustinamash@marhearn you do understand debt ceiling merely allows the treasury to pay $ already allocated by Congress?no add to deficit -
@Walters_Ego@marhearn No. That's false but routinely asserted. -
@repjustinamash@marhearn treasury has to borrow to pay allocated $. Debt ceiling limits ability to pay, does not allow increased spending
