Carson Vows to Never Raise Debt Limit

Ben Carson told The Hill that he would not sign any budget deal that raised the debt ceiling if he is elected president.

Said Carson: “They do the same thing every year. They wait until their backs are up against the wall and the gun is to their head, and you either raise the debt ceiling or we default and the world falls apart.”

He added: “Why do we do that? I think the time to address that is at the beginning of the fiscal period, not at the end, because then you have other options. Now, they wait until it’s too late to do anything else, and we keep raising the debt and compromising the future of the next generation. It is craziness.”
