Let's see if you remember "who said what?"about the debt crisis(?) in 2006?
Please put on your thinking caps and tell us who made this speech on the floor of the United States Senate in March of 2006?
"The fact that we are here today to debate raising America’s debt limit is a sign of leadership failure,” he said. “It is a sign that the U.S. Government can’t pay its own bills. It is a sign that we now depend on ongoing financial assistance from foreign countries to finance our Government’s reckless fiscal policies. … Leadership means that ‘the buck stops here.’ Instead, Washington is shifting the burden of bad choices today onto the backs of our children and grandchildren. America has a debt and a failure of leadership. Americans deserve better. I therefore intend to oppose the effort to increase America’s debt limit.”
Are you stumped as several people have been? Well please click on the header for the answer. (hint, it's a current Washington insider.)
HUMM!

while we are on a political note, I think we should all take a moment to wish Gabby Giffords well after her triumphant return to her seat today.
