Then and now

Sadie sends along a link the what Harry Reid was saying years ago.  Surprise — he was against raising the debt ceiling.

Now, I know that Zach makes the argument that raising the debt ceiling is the responsibility of the majority and the minority is free to cynically take pot shots for doing so.  But I’m just odd enough to demand some level of consistency and even statesmanship in my representatives.  Yes, I know that is too much to ask of members of Congress, but it shouldn’t be.
