Rick Santelli, perhaps the 'father' of the Tea Party, sticks to his guns.

No compromise on spending, please. Let the damned debt ceiling force some serious CHANGE to this overspent, failing-from-entitlements nation.




I for one welcome the opportunity to reshuffle the deck. "Someone will come up $160 Billion short in August, and it won't be the bond holders". So, if you know someone who relies on Social Security, be prepared to help out when those checks stop coming.

Hold this Congress' feet to the fire, now! Force this nation to live within it's revenue intake!

NO COMPROMISE!
