healthcare law. our bill also increases the debt limit. the best way to preserve the full faith and credit of the united states is by strengthening it which is what our plan does. coupling an increase in the debt limit with efforts to rein in spending is common sense, so much so, that it has been used from presidents from both parties. president reagan did it in 1985 when he signed the graham rudman hollings reduction bill. five years later, president bush reached a budget deal with a democratic congress that included a debt limit increase. president clinton reached a similar agreement with the democratic majority in 1993. with a republican majority on the balanced budget agreement of 1997 as well. finally, president obama himself worked with republicans on a large deficit reduction deal tied to the debt limit in the summer of 2011. it has its flaws including the sequester, the president devised and insisted on, but it has cut spending. unfortunately, the president is now demanding that we increase the debt limit without engaging in any kind of i partisan discussion about addressing our spending problem. he wants to take the easy way out. foolishnesskind
