They are not wimping out. Please read the article. The short term raise in the debt ceiling would only happen if there are spending cuts. I am so sick of people passing judgement based on a headline.

They are wimping out. How about no raise in the debt ceiling AND spending cuts?

The short term raise in the debt ceiling would only happen if there are spending cuts.

I didn't see that in the article.

I did see that, "[An] extension has been discussed as a way to keep negotiating and to keep pressure on the White House."

In other words, an extension would happen if the Rats continue to talk about spending cuts. On the farm where I grew up, talking is by no means the same as doing, hence my remark about the Pubs wimping out.

The Pubs can BS till the cows come home, but they never, ever have the stones it takes to deliver.

Who needs a headline when we can let previous experience be our guide?

When it is all done... you will see how wrong you are. I am praying that you are correct... but I know that they are who they are and we will get a knife in our backs... watch.

You're not alone.

If you can't appreciate the pure beauty of the violin after hearing this, something's wrong with your ears.

Or you can get raw with these strings. Either way, the violin is sweet yet lethal.

Do it!
