Teabagger Wants to LOWER the Debt Ceiling???

The "Tea Party Caucus" of the Republican Party proved beyond a doubt, it hasn't a clue what a debt ceiling is. On Andrea Mitchell Reports today, Paul Broun (R-GA) announced he has introduced a bill to lower the debt ceiling! Andrea Mitchell asked him if he understood that the debt ceiling  needed to be raised to pay for expenditures already incurred by previous congresses (like maybe the last Republican Congress under that deadbeat spendoholic George W. Bush).  Isn't attempting to lower a debt ceiling like trying to lower the bill you just incurred over the fancy dinner, you've just enjoyed, complete with a few bottles of Don Perigon.
