And It's Important To Remember We Are

The Debate We Won't Be Having Is Whether Or Not The Debt Ceiling Should Be Raised. We Will Not Have A Situation Where People Will Hold The American Economy Hostage In Order To Achieve A Specific Agenda - At Least Not Until 2013. So We Think That Is Incredibly Important As A Matter Of Economic Good.

But The - Look, I Think That This - The United States Of America Is Still The Most Powerful Economy In The World. It Is An Incredible Engine For Creativity And Innovation. And It Has The Most - Smartest, Most Effective Workforce In The World. So We Have A Lot Going For Us, In Spite Of The Fractiousness Of Our Politics.

I`m Going To Work Night And Day To Make Sure That Americans Get The Tax Relief That They Need And Deserve, And That Our Economy Needs And Deserves.

Raising The Debt Ceiling Is Not Additional Spending. It Is Simply Saying, You, The United States Of America, Can Continue To Borrow The Money You Need To Pay The Bills You Have Already Rung Up.

The Affordable Care Act Reduces The Deficit Considerably. I Would Simply Point Out To You That The Supreme Court Has Spoken, The American People Have Spoken, Congressional Leaders Of Both Parties Have Spoken, And We're Going To Continue With Implementation.
