  • POLITICO: 7.8.11 For serious debt, deficit talks, By: Rep. Wm. Lacy Clay

    7/8/11

    As Congress and the nation continue to hurdle toward the critical Aug. 2 deadline for raising the debt limit, it is amazing that even as the clock is ticking on America's AAA credit rating and the viability of our entire economy, some of my colleagues continue to cling to an alternative reality, unburdened by mathematics or other inescapable facts.
