In a conference call this week, Sen. Schumer’s called for a ‘blank check’ increase in the debt limit (with some fairly "crappy" inflammatory language).
But the same two-faced Sen. Schumer has voted against raising the debt limit four times. What hypocrisy! Michael Steel, press secretary for House Speaker Boehner related, "Sen. Schumer’s voting record is like a dagger aimed at the heart of his own credibility. It is clear that the American people will not tolerate a ‘blank check’ hike in the debt limit unless we deal with the real issue: out-of-control Washington spending. We’re listening to the American people, but the Democrats who run Washington, led by Sen. Schumer, are not."
Sen. Schumer Has Voted Against Increasing the Debt Limit at Least Four Times:
- H.R. 2015, Roll Call Vote #241: Passed 270-162, 6/25/97, Schumer Voted Nay
- H.J. Res. 51, Roll Call Vote #202: Passed 53-44, 5/23/03, Schumer Voted Nay
- S. 2986, Roll Call Vote #213: Passed 52-44, 11/17/04, Schumer Voted Nay
- H.J. Res. 47, Roll Call Vote #54: Passed 52-48, 3/16/06, Schumer Voted Nay
A congressman was seated next to a little girl on an airplane so he turned to her and said, "Do you want to talk? Flights go quicker if you strike up a conversation with your fellow passenger."
The little girl, who had just started to read her book, replied to the total stranger, "What would you want to talk about?"
"Oh, I don't know," said the congressman. "How about global warming, universal health care, or stimulus packages?" as he smiled smugly.
"OK," she said. "Those could be interesting topics but let me ask you a question first. A horse, a cow, and a deer all eat the same stuff - grass. Yet, a deer excretes little pellets, while a cow turns out a flat patty, but a horse produces clumps. Why do you suppose that is?"
The legislator, visibly surprised by the little girl's intelligence, thinks about it and says, "Hmmm, I have no idea."
To which the little girl replies, "Do you really feel qualified to discuss global warming, universal health care, the debt limit, or the economy, when you don't know 'crap'?"
She went back to reading her book, and the congressman had nothing else to say the rest of the flight.
