Jim DeMint: I’m Willing To Cause Serious Disruption

Senator Jim DeMint of South Carolina appeared on Fox Business last night with potential Glenn Beck replacement Judge Napolitano and claimed that he is willing to cause serious harm to the economy to achieve his goal of not raising the debt ceiling.

Sen. Jim DeMint (R-S.C.) said last night during an appearance on the conservative Fox Business channel that he is “willing” to cause “serious disruptions” to the U.S. economy in order to maintain the nation’s debt limit.

“The reason the president hasn’t addressed the issue even though we knew it was facing us, and this is the fourth time he’s asked for an increase in the debt limit, he has been burning time — that’s what Biden was supposed to do is get the Republicans behind closed doors — is burn the clock up until we have a crisis,” he told Judge Napolitano, Fox Business’s libertarian host.

“So now we’re at the point where there would have to be some serious disruptions in order not to raise it. I’m willing to do that, I just don’t think we can find enough of Republicans and Democrats to say it’s time to stop spending.”

These are the kind of lunatics President Obama and Vice President Joe Biden are being forced to deal with right now.

They simply do not care what happens to the peons and the peasants. They do not care what happens to America.
