Yesterday, Washington politicians failed to take responsibility for their actions. Instead of working for real solutions to our debt crisis or finding actual answers to our fiscal challenges, they wasted an entire day debating a resolution whose singular purpose is covering their backsides after they voted to increase the debt ceiling last August.

I wish I could say I’m surprised, but I’m not. It is clear that many in the United States House of Representatives will vote for anything — including this fake resolution of debt ceiling increase disapproval (H.J.Res. 98) — to get re-elected.
