Oy vey,,really? Unbelievable.
This is a good idea. Each time it comes up just increase it enough for a couple of month so Obama has to come back over and over begging to borrow more money while never offering to cut a thing. It will keep the focus on the tab the progressive socialists keep running up.
This is such a Great idea! 4 years is clearly NOT enough time to pass a budget, but 4 years and 3 months should do it!!
This is just TOTALLY DISGUSTING. These political lizards are destroying this country with NO CONSCIENCE OR REMORSE.
And the agenda of American destruction moves forward.
No surprise here (at all ), although once again they made the mistake of boasting that they would not do this without concession spending cuts from O and Reid.
Much like them giving the impression that the House alone could keep all those taxes from going up, when they had close to zero chance of that. Setting unrealistic expectations
In 2010 O demanded and got a 16 month extension to get him through the election, so this is three monther.
My understanding was the “Big battle” over the debt ceiling was ‘scheduled’ for this March. So this is just to get us to the “real battle” ...where the Repubs will probably agree to jack it up even more.
How do you pass a 3-month debt ceiling increase? Doesn’t the increase have to be measured in monetary units?
I don’t think “three month limit” makes sense. The increase is an amount of money. There is no compulsion to spend any of it. A decision to spend more than it has is a decision that stands separately.
We were promised that the last debt ceiling increase would get us through until the end of March. Why is anyone even considering raising it again at this point before the last one runs out? And when Obama complains, remind him that he severely overspent his last allowance increase.
So, once gain, the gutless wonders in Congress kick the can down the road.
And, we pay these people nearly $200K per year for doing what!??
what a joke...

I keep thinking of the alcoholic who keeps saying “ just enough money for one more drink, then I’ll quit for good”
The GOP icon needs to be changed from an elephant to a folding lawn chair.
Smart move... force that fossilized scumbag Reid to finally DO something.
Meanwhile, the African communist can just wait for three months wondering what the Republicans might be up to.
I ask myself why the Republicans always let the Democrats control the narrative and why do they always give in then I realize at the end of the day the Republicans are for more spending and more debt too.
