Debt ceiling round two.

Lou Dobbs is joining us now -- it's so hard for lawmakers to keeps spending in check there I was telling us don't spend that you don't have.

Is it under -- -- just this functional what's going -- congress your laughing I think I -- laughing because in agony.

I think about us I mean it's some point all of our experiences in life there is that point at which you cross over the -- number of the absurd.

There's nothing left to do but -- You cannot take this president seriously surely.

You can't take the Republican leadership of the house of the senate seriously when it comes to the issue of the debt ceiling.

We've all seen this -- we have seen their projections.

We've seen their postures and their posturing.

How could we possibly take seriously our president who gives a congress.

Five items and says it's had to do list and then collapse sent them and -- them are saying only gave them five because they're incapable of handling more.

I mean when you when you're dealing with this kind of sarcasm and Smart -- -- and -- pure serenity.

I've certainly -- gonna participate in any earnest effort to divine what goes through the minds and hearts of such people certainly not this president.

So you had died earlier this week warning congress how bad that first battle for the debt ceiling increase was that a country today were just hearing well we're gonna have -- when the rhetoric and to what will become useful I.

I think it I think it begins to end in this administration begins to -- and it's time in office this is a president who has not put forward.

Successfully -- budget in the United States senate.

This is a senate that has not looked at a budget and over a thousand days.

Has not moved a budget forward.

And we're to take -- serious.

-- Li I mean are you kidding me.

These are people to be -- that they are there right now for our amusement.

There is no other reason in the world for them to be at the White House rather than public spectacle and entertainment.

I think -- have been running again -- that.

You couldn't run a household what could run your life what about how much you are running -- against the debt ceiling so what do we do at this juncture.

As we are gonna need to raise that again -- -- certainly will have to raise it again because there is no way in which are after all of the the posturing that I was talking about both Republicans and Democrats alike.

Have put forward not a single budget that is going to reduce spending one year to the next.

They're gonna cut against the projections of the -- years out six point true trillion dollars if you're Paul Ryan.

Cocaine and a debtor nation in perpetuity if you're President Obama thanks -- -- --
