@SteveRattner @NickKristof people who don't want debt ceiling raised R low info,ignorant people who prefer not to acknowledge implications.

@SteveRattner political class has shown no ability or desire to fix our spending problems. People looking for ways to solve that.

@SteveRattner @NickKristof They look at the way they conduct their own finances and realize that they would never have this luxury.

@SteveRattner @NickKristof Incredible that even one American thinks the debt ceiling should be raised!
