Page Rewrite

This page is in need of a major rewrite / expansion. The current information in it is entirely not sourced and reads as an opinion piece. Also, it would read better if it was split into a couple of sections. I think it would read better with the information on what the Debt Ceiling is in a section, and then the controversy surrounding Obama's desire to raise it in another section. I will try to begin working on it in the upcoming week and hopefully we will be able to get a more articulate article out of this. --MRellek 10:00, 17 July 2011 (EDT)

Are there any facts in the article that you dispute? Do you dispute that the debt limit is required by the Constitution, that it is similar to a credit card limit or that Obama wants to raise taxes? The lamestream media has been covering for the gangster in chief by attempting to blame conservatives for Obama's spending binge. Conservapedians won't stand for the same here.

The article needs sources. I do not dispute the information, but we need to reference our claims. Please feel free to add additional material and help cite some of what is already listed. --MRellek 16:22, 19 July 2011 (EDT)

Debt Graphic

I like the idea of the graphic, however I cannot read the current graphic. I do not know if this is isolated to me, or if perhaps we could find a better one that has the text for what the graphic is illustrated still on it, as the legend appears to be missing. --MRellek 21:23, 19 July 2011 (EDT)

The above issue was fixed almost immediately. --MRellek 21:29, 19 July 2011 (EDT)

References

There needs to be a lot more cites added to this article before it's ready to be featured. There are many statements (and indeed, whole paragraphs) that are unreferenced. --SharonW 11:42, 28 July 2011 (EDT)
