Video, 12/6: On Fox Today Simon Argues GOP's Use of the Debt Ceiling Has Been Bad Economics, Politics

Submitted by Anjani Nadadur on 12/6/12

Today, Simon appeared on "America Live with Megyn Kelly" opposite Marc Thiessen to discuss the fiscal cliff and debt ceiling. In the interview Simon cited the GOP's collapsing poll numbers, arguing that playing with the debt ceiling has been bad for the GOP, and if used again could do further harm to the GOP's prospects.  Later this afternoon Mitch McConnell tried to use the debt ceiling as a political football on the floor of the US Senate, and failed miserably.  Note the continued use of conservative magical budgetary thinking by AEI's Marc Thiessen in the segment.
