Carson on Debt Limit: ‘It’s the Same Crap Every Year’

‘I am not going to sign anything that in any way increases our obligations’

MITCHELL: "The debt limit needs to be raised by November 5th. This is a deadline. Then there's the deadline to extend government funding or come up with a budget which they have never done in recent years. What would you do if you were president?"
CARSON: "Well, if I was president, we wouldn't be in this situation, OK? Because long before we reach the deadline, I would have been saying we're not going to raise the debt limit. I'm not going to sign anything that in any way increases our obligations. And what i would say is you know, there are 645 governmental agencies and subagencies and they all have budgets. And I would have --long before we got to this stage- been looking at that and looking at other things, because we always end up in the same situation. Your back's against the wall, 'You got to do it right now or we're going to die', you know. And it's the same crap every year. Why do we we keep doing it?"
