House to vote on debt ceiling Bill 6:15pm-6:30pm EDT
I wouldn’t vote on anything that doesn’t immediately halt stimulus money, choo choo money and Obamacare money. I wouldn’t vote on anything that doesn’t open dozens of federal agencies to major cuts or outright elimination.

The witch is up now.
Shut up and give Obama what you promised!!!
I wonder if anyone has lied to Boehner about which way he’s gonna vote...?
Nazi Pelosi on CSPIN right now.
There’s a reason TVs have volume controls.
link to watch this online?
Senators Crapo and Ritrch,and Representative Labrador,
The "deal" with the dems is no deal.
Vote no.
It cedes the congressional responsibility on debt ceiling to the President unless a 2/3rds majority overrules it. I do not believe that is constitutional. it seems that most of the so-called "cuts" are coming from cutting the rate of future spending...which means they are not cuts at all. As to tax cuts, the Dems plan to allow the Bush tax cuts to end, thereby raising everyone's taxes.
I expect, per my letter of July 28th, my representatives to hold true to a common sense, obvious, sane economic line.
Do so, and live a balanced budget, or we the voters will find someone who will.
Do not borrow any more. The default scare tactics are a fallacy and a lie. We have more than enough revenue to cover it, to cover our military, sociail security and medicare. Start cutting from there to have us fall within the 200 billion we bring in.
Cut spending drastically to within our means and income.
Cap spending to a modest rate of GNP that would allow for a balanced budget in five years minimum in any case.
Pass the balanced budget amendment and send it to the states.
My vote hinges on these things...and the other things I always look to (fundamental moral principle, abiding the constitution according to the intent of those who wrote it, defense of this nation and its borders, defense of the unborn, and holding firm on the 2nd amendment)>
Sincerely,

This economy is headed over a cliff, THAT wont re-elect Obama.
Ditto
So damn tired of crisis mode.
I don't know, for sure. Just wandered over to U.S. Senate: Active Legislation and was surprised to see even that. My old links for House action don't work, and I haven't found the new ones.
I assume the argument has been over whether or not to pass whatever is before the House - typical for the House to debate for a few hours, on a more or less "take it or leave it" basis.
Pelosi whining, no more taxes from the wealthiest among us, blah. blah, blah.
Lying expletives-deleted....
What the hell IS Boehner’s version of the American dream? I’d love to kmow.
Sorry, I got it up on the telly.
TEApublicans debating RATs.
Jeb Hensarling R-TX
Careful...could do permanent damage to your screen...LOL!
She’s only playing to her fools, making them think that Tea Party people WON. We “won” excrement, and that’s it!
