Huckabee Blasts Washington GOP Debt Ceiling Negotiations

I am greatly concerned about reports that Washington GOP leadership is negotiating a deal with the Obama administration to raise the debt ceiling, cut Social Security and raid Medicare.

This is the same GOP congressional leadership that has failed to repeal ObamaCare, defund Planned Parenthood, stop the Iranian nuclear deal, build the Keystone pipeline, defend traditional marriage, secure the border, and reject Obama's illegal executive amnesty. But now we should trust them to 'reform' Social Security and Medicare -in exchange for more deficit spending and endless debt?

First the ObamaTrade TPP deal and now this. We need the GOP to fight for our principles-not against them.

Why should seniors be robbed of the benefits our government forced them to pay for? Why should our grandkids be enslaved with more debt because Washington refuses to balance the budget? I have a better idea: let's kill ObamaCare, save Social Security, protect Medicare and pass the FairTax to grow our economy out of Washington's bottomless pit of debt.
