60-40 party line vote.

Damn those RINO's.............

Here's another way to think about it....just imagine the ENTIRE monetary and productive output of every wage-earning, salary-earning, company/corporation-producing entity in this ENTIRE country for a year. Now, imagine that every last goddam cent of that production was taken away on receipt to pay for this massive, massive debt.....that's the scope of this circle jerk....

How many in this country could afford to labor hard for a year and not realize any benefit from it? That's what we have now in store for us because of OBAMA.

Why bother having a debt limit if every few weeks they vote to raise it?

Why am I asking that, sheesh.

WTF?!?

They took this vote without MY NEW DULY-ELECTED SENATOR having been rightfully seated?!

Taxation without representation. As MA resident, I have been denied my rightful representation in the Senate.

Pitchforks. Torches.

And as someone else said, what’s the point in a “debt ceiling” if they can just raise it whenever they want? That’s like giving a compulsive gambler the ability to raise his own credit card limit without the bank having any say in the matter.

“60-40”. I thought the term was up for the interrim Mass. Senator and he no longer had authority to vote.

And 14.3 trillion dollars is basically 100% of our Gross National Product.
