There is a better way to do this. Just say no to raising the debt limit until deep, meaningful, and immediate cuts (no 10-12 year BS) to the budget are proposed and agreed upon.
Granted, but I'm starting to think this plan was more of a threat to Obama ("we're going to stick this ALL on you if you don't play ball") than a policy McConnell really wanted.
no way. Don’t raise the ceiling, Don’t default. Spend within our means.
“There is a better way to do this. Just say no to raising the debt limit “
You should have stopped there
They’re deluded if they think the McConnell plan would win the GOP any points at all. It is a complete, 100% idiotic victory for Barry.
I just want the House to pass something reasonable—a ceiling increase good for 6 months or so and a couple hundred billion single-year cuts to go with it—then let the senate and Obama turn it down and take the heat.
Agreed. Everyone in D.C. seems far too willing to put games of political “gotcha” ahead of their responsibilities under the Constitution.
Exactly....that house will never pass it...you have the majority because of the freshman congressmen/women...they are all standing tough against it...rightly so...
