The McConnell/McCain plan is tantamount to...
“Help me! I’ve fallen and I can’t get up!”
Honest to God, we have some of the lamest people in positions of power. It’s scarey how stupid these people are.
This is a plan to allow Obama to request a debt limit increase formally.
Congress and the Senate would have to block it by vote. (50% +1 margin? Not sure) If they did, he would be allowed to veto the bill and that would be it.
It gives the president the power to raise the debt limit unilaterally.
This McConnell, McCain, and now Boehner thinks either is or will be a great idea.
This is insufferably lame. It operates on the premise Obama will get all the credit for continuing to build debt. Screw the nation, but Obama will get blamed.
No he won’t. It will continue to be obvious that the Republicans caved. I’m going to be angry about it, and everyone else will be too.
Just damn!!!!
No, Mitch the (rhymes with Mitch) offered the deal requiring a 2/3 majority to deny it.
