The genius of the plan put forward by Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) is that it gives lawmakers what politicians most love: an out.

Genius? Genius?!!!

I thought we were looking for a solution. Not an "out".

This defines what the GOP does not understand. They weren't elected to find an out. They were elected to do the right thing!

And now is the time for them to do it. Pass a debt ceiling bill that raises the ceiling by a modest amount. And cuts spending by at least that amount -- loaded to the near future. And prioritizes spending in the event of a future failure to raise the debt ceiling.

Pass it. Send it to the Democrat Senate. Dare them to vote it down. Then dare the President to veto it.

Then, whether the Treasury defaults or the Social Security checks don't go out -- there will be only one party to blame. The Democrats!

The Republican House would've done their job. And they did it in a manner that most independent voters would understand, appreciate and support...because:

It was the right thing to do!

What the hell is wrong with these people?!

“They weren’t elected to find an out. They were elected to do the right thing!”

Remember, these people are living ina bubble, surrounded by largely gay reporters screaming “WILL YOU STARVE GRANDMA!” at them.

They are under tremendous pressure right now, from both the folks at home, and the whacckjobs in the media.
