WASHINGTON - Today, Mary Miller, Assistant Secretary for Financial Markets at the U.S. Department of the Treasury, issued the following update regarding the projected dates by which the United States will reach the statutory debt limit:
“The Treasury Department now estimates that the United States will reach the debt limit between April 15, 2011 and May 31, 2011. As announced at the February Quarterly Refunding, Treasury will update this projection at the beginning of each month.”
Will the republican House have the cojones to say "no" to another increase of the debt ceiling?

Count me as a stay-at-home on election day if they blow this opportunity.
Hells bells April 15. Obama will try to spend the US into Oblivion even before that date.

If they get at least 1.5T out of the budget by then I could personally forgive a debt ceiling raise. That’s just me.
Fine. But at some point, the GOP has to show that it is deadly serious about curtailing future spending. As far as I'm concerned, the debt ceiling is the main play. If they raise it, then the GOP isn't serious about cutting spending.
Between April 15, 2011 and May 31, 2011?
I’m better at predicting the next 60,000 mile inspection for my truck.
