By Cato Institute Sometime in the next 30 to 60 days the federal government will reach the legal limit on its ability to borrow, setting up the next potential budget crisis in Washington. Unfortunately, says Cato scholar Michael D. Tanner, much of what we are being told about the debt limit and the upcoming fight is simply untrue. Tanner argues that while failing to raise the debt limit would not be a good thing, even worse would be failing to take meaningful action to reduce the debt, federal spending, and the growth of government.

"A preventive war, to my mind, is an impossibility today. How could you have one if one of its features would be several cities lying in ruins, several cities where many, many thousands of people would be dead and injured and mangled, the transportation systems destroyed, sanitation implements and systems all gone? That isn't preventive war; that is war. I don't believe there is such a thing; and, frankly, I wouldn't even listen to anyone seriously that came in and talked about such a thing. ... It seems to me that when, by definition, a term is just ridiculous in itself, there is no use in going any further. There are all sorts of reasons, moral and political and everything else, against this theory, but it is so completely unthinkable in today's conditions that I thought it is no use to go any further." - Dwight D. Eisenhower News Conference of (11 August 1954)
