This is a tragic day in American history. We deserve better. Our children and families and citizens deserve better.
I’m ashamed of what’s just happened. This is not a vote that cares about voters, this is greed, recklessness, violence and immorality.
We will all suffer from this.

Congress voted to pass the largest job-killing bill in history.
Congress voted to take away health care from 17 million people to pay for tax breaks for billionaires.
Congress voted to take away food assistance from 3 million people.

It's a very, very good point. The earlier crises were vast and required huge amounts of spending. We have no economic crisis now. We have a vast political and constitutional one. It's when you'd want to keep deficit/debt stable with respect to size of the economy.
Of all the times in our history, why blow out the budget deficit now?
