Senate Dems: Combine funding, debt-ceiling fights

“We’d like to move them both together,” said Sen. Charles Schumer (N.Y.), the third-ranking Democratic leader. “I think having them together is a good thing because who wants to go through this again.

“The hopes is maybe once the Tea Party has realized it’s not getting its way on shutting down the government that they won’t try the same stunt on debt ceiling,” he said.

Democratic leaders dismissed House Republican efforts to pass piecemeal funding bills to reopen the government.

The Folding Lawn Chair Party will probably acquiesce in this instead of holding onto a great hand: Simply say that they are too busy trying to fund the government to take up the debt ceiling. Once they get the government going again, they’ll turn their attention tot the debt problem.

“The hopes is maybe once the Tea Party has realized it’s not getting its way on shutting down the government ...” Chuckie Shumer

The facts is, Chuck—since the feral worker layoffs the deficit is shrinking, life has pretty much gone on and this marble called Earth is still spinning around ol’ Sol.

What you’re trying to think of is called “consolidation”. Bring it on. Beating your blue mandrill butts even more efficiently sounds like a good thing.

Right you are Chuckie, go ahead and combine both the Government funding, or the lack of government funding because you guy aren’t getting your way to the debt limit ceiling raising.

Yeah Chuck, I’m sure you would like to do them together.

I would like a new F350 and a new engine for my jet boat, but my taxes are too high to buy them this year.

You expect Republicans of any sort to help you? You are as bad as those that support Obamacare!

Sorry but this is more about the Republicans than others... Just mad at all of them!

No!

That was my (very brief- obviously too brief) translation of what the Dems are saying with this article!

The Dems are losing and they want to change the game to include the debt limit.
The minibill strategy is killing them.

Hope you are right but have absolutely nothing to show that it is true. That is unfortunately the goal and we are losing again... We are Republicans/ Actually Conservatives and the Media will always be against us. Expected but don’t think that we can prevail until changes are made.

Dear Charles: the inability to recognize reality is a symptom of insanity. Please check yourself in.

Well, even Matt Fuller of Rollcall said on CSPAN that the minibill strategy was winning for us.

Today Harry Reid made his drones vote against funds for D.C. - and the cops who protected him and his drones.
And against funds for any little girls getting cancer treatment at the NIH.

So far, so good. But it’s no done deal for sure.
