I'd like to see Rand hit the point that this principle isn't about raising the debt ceiling, but rather respecting the ceiling.

If Congress spends it's way towards the debt ceiling like a runaway train, having no intent on slowing down, then they cry for raising the debt ceiling, that means they have fundamentally disregarded the ceiling and show no real concern. And it's not like this train is unmanned. There is someone at the throttle, but they just don't care that they don't have enough track ahead of them.

This train is running out of track and the engineers are blaming us for not constructing more track. They claim that we are going to cause a crisis if we don't give them what they need to keep moving. The crisis isn't that there's no more track. The crisis is that they're running the train like the track is never going to end. And then they use it's momentum as leverage to force us to give them more track.

But if all we're going to do is spend and raise the debt ceiling time and time again, then there is, for all practical purposes, no ceiling at all. To them, the debt ceiling is just an illusion, and then they try to convince the American people that we who oppose raising the debt ceiling are the bad guys for holding them to law. And the debt ceiling is law. It doesn't need to change. Their spending must change.
