Sen. Coburn: ‘It’s Time We Quit Borrowing Money’

Coburn Cuts Up Giant Credit Card on Senate Floor

Speaking before the U.S. Senate Tuesday evening, Sen. Tom Coburn (R., Okla.) expressed his ire with the snowballing debt problem. He advised that politicians to treat the debt like a credit card and cut it up.

Coburn produced a pair of scissors and proceeded to cut an enlarged, poster sized credit card, with "Washington" splashed across where a credit card owner’s name would appear.

He attempted to cut the credit card before becoming frustrated and ripping it in half.
