Hensarling: Congress Should beTarred, Feathered

Texas GOP Rep. Jeb Hensarling says although Congress should be praised for avoiding a government shutdown, another way to look at the 2011 spending deal is “we probably all deserve to be tarred and feathered,” Politico reports.

“Relatively to the size of the problem, it’s not even a rounding error,” Hensarling said Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union.” “In that case, we probably all deserve to be tarred and feathered.”

Hensarling also said he doesn't want America to “default on its debt,” but urged President Barack Obama to begin “cutting up the credit cards.”
