Tea party members are planning not to vote for a debt ceiling increase when the issue comes up October 17th. When commenting on the current government shutdown, tea party congressmen Yoho is quoted as saying:
Quote:
“You’re seeing the tremor before the tsunami here,” Yoho said. “I’m not going to raise the debt ceiling.”
“I think we need to have that moment where we realize [we’re] going broke,” Yoho said. If the debt ceiling isn’t raised, that will sure as heck be a moment. “I think, personally, it would bring stability to the world markets,”
