Boehner knew what obama's "deal" was and yet, continued to compromise with himself? Apparently to reach an endpoint previously agreed upon? This effort, CCB was tabled in the Senate,never voted on. And Senate repubs went along with it. Because McConnell played golf that day too, dontcha know. Stinks to high heaven.
Boehner had to throw a bone to new conservatives with BBA. A "must pass" for BBA was changed to "Senate will vote on/consider". Someone should have filibustered this. There was no default possible and NOT one now. But our debt rating will be downgraded and the hedge funds will do well. Hurry, Hurry just like TARP. Short selling the United States people and shorting them in so many other ways. Despicable.

If I were you I wouldn’t believe what Daley or any Chicago politician has to say.
same evil party and stupid party.
That asshat Daley made the rounds on the weekly Sunday political shows not this past Sunday, but the Sunday BEFORE that even.
It’s amazing how easily we get played.
This deal might fool the dumber 95% of people on this planet, but the top 5% of the population that control the vast wealth of the US and world financial system know the collapse is now ordained, and inescapable.
The only solution now is the complete collapse of the US economy, or a military junta. There is no escaping the collapse, no escaping the collapse in purchasing power, no escaping a deflationary interlude then hyperinflationary crash and burn into the Sun,
A HappyMeal will cost $250 and a loaf of bread $90, and no one will have the calories, will or fortitude to care about the treason committed over the last 72 hours.
What more could we possibly want?
Reference from link:
BLITZER: So what you're saying is the president did present a plan to the speaker, John Boehner.
DALEY: Yes.
BLITZER: But - but he didn't make it public.
DALEY: No, because there's... both the speaker and - and the president had agreed and - that these sort of negotiations do not happen in public. There's not a plan out there in the public realm, whether it's the fiscal commission, whether it's the Gang of Six, whether it's Congressman Ryan's plan - Congressman Ryan's plan lost in the Senate overwhelmingly.
So there's no plan that's out there, by any of these people who are saying this, that has any sort of chance of passing both houses and getting signed by the president.
(Note : He is saying that if they didnt keep it secret it would get killed by either or both sides like all the others)

a conservative sweep in 2012 is the only answer to these Washington shell games.
Filibuster defeated. 74 Senators voted for the bill, only 60 are needed to override a filibuster.
