I’m sorry for being a bit obtuse but just how can the Senate raise the budget when the House has been assigned that task?
Because he knows Bohner will cave. What a dickless idiot.
Obviously you don’t know how a dictatorship works.
Listening to Levin, you can tell dickless idiot Boehner will cave. That’s why he can be smug about it.
The constitutional limitation is on “bills for raising revenue,” and that is laws that impose a tax. The courts construe that very narrowly, so that fees are not considered bills for raising revenue. The debt limit is not a tax, at all. Spending is not a tax either.
They take some other piece of legislation the House has already passed, turn it into a bill to raise the debt ceiling, and then "deem" it to have passed. They'll say they had to pass it to find out what was in it, so they can deny they knew what it was they were voting for when it all goes to crap.
