The debt ceiling at some point has to be raised.

Grover Norquist

Sandy Duncan
America pays its bills. It always has. It always will. The fact that Washington is now debating whether to honor its debts and obligations, then, should come as a surprise. But playing political football with a necessary vote to raise the nation's debt ceiling has become as predictable as a Twitter rant from Charlie Sheen.
Peter Welch

Steve Wynn
It's not about what the speaker wants. It's not about necessarily what I want. There's two other principles involved here.

Tim Huelskamp
