On the brink of a national default, the leaders of the Senate struck a deal Wednesday to reopen the federal government and extend its power to borrow money. The House appeared ready to go along — and end, at least for now, the crisis in Washington.

Sen. Harry Reid, the Democratic leader, said on the Senate floor at midday that his party and Republicans had found their way to a compromise to “provide our economy with the stability it desperately needs” and avert financial disaster.

His Republican counterpart, Sen. Mitch McConnell, offered his blessing: “This is far less than many of us had hoped for, frankly, but is far better than what some had sought.”

Long past time to get Boehner out of there.

You fund it, you own it!

Boehner’s caves on last day? I could of written the headline a month ago.

[Democrat_media]

Boner is an idiot. they should not cave. don’t raise the debt limit and keep the government shut down.

the media is lying : not raising the debt limit will not cause default

but the news media keeps repeating that lie. there was never a chance for default. Obama and the media lied lied and lied again

[IbJensen]

Is this a Senate 'leader', or is this a slime-sucking Republicrat?

On the brink of a national default

Hmmm...low information voters indeed.

Sens. Cruz, Lee say they won't block deal

"The deal...would fund the government through Jan. 15 and raise the debt-ceiling until February."

CBS admitted it last night. It would have come down to either paying entitlements or paying foreign bond holders. It will eventually come to that anyway.

“Boehner’s caves on last day? I could of written the headline a month ago.”

no kidding, that’s why they keep the schools the cesspools that they are, so the retards that most of this country is now will fall the phony crisis.

WHO didn't know from the start that Boehner would cave???

[familyop]

From the article that you posted the excerpt from:

"The compromise would fund the federal government through Jan. 15 and extend the borrowing power, known as the debt ceiling, through Feb. 7."

Good old Mitch, such a fighter.

POS reminds me of the billionaire pervert character in the second Hannibal Lector movie. What a gutless, useless POS.

Did Sen. McConnell forget his dentures today?
I guess he wanted to give the Democrats a softer BJ.
(I know, not a nice thing to say. But what else could be said considering the Republican cave-in today?)

[willywill]

and then on top of it, the stock market goes up 150, as if they didn’t know they would come to an agreement?
friggin retards

[IbJensen]

He likes to kiss Cupcake’s ring.

And, he knows he keeps it in his hip pocket.

Too bad Kentucky has only one Senator that’s worth anything.

Congressional Budget and Impoundment Control Act of 1974
Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985.
Budget Enforcement Act of 1990.
Balanced Budget Act of 1997.
Budget Control Act of 2011.

Yep, one more “act” ought to do it.

I hope he cries again. I love it when he cries.

“the media is lying : not raising the debt limit will not cause default”

But the vast majority of the Sheeple believe what that media tells them, and what the Tweets say.

Obama has threatened to not pay Welfare in November. Like or not, that is a VERY potent threat.
