Accountability 102

The award for the day's most egregious misappropriation of constitutional verbiage, goes to Sen. Chuck Grassley, whilst promoting the (winning) Senate resolution to raise the national debt limit to $9 trillion. According to the N.Y. Times:

Senator Charles E. Grassley, the Iowa Republican who heads the Senate Finance Committee, said before the vote that an increase in the debt limit to $8.97 trillion was essential to preserve "the full faith and credit of the federal government," and that spending for the Iraq war and for antiterrorism measures had helped to push up spending.

[Emphasis added]
Con law is not really my thing, but I don't know if the Constitution's authors would think that raising the national debt limit had much to do with full faith and credit.
