This brings me to this concept of raising the debt ceiling for three months so they can come up with a budget.
Either the spineless pubs want to extend the debt ceiling but want to look tough about it.
OR...
Well the pubs could be SERIOUS about it.
If so, they will use that three months to get in public and grouse about the lack of budget.
ALL of them will mention the lack of budget EVERY time they are interviewed, they will mention that all Mayors of even the smallest towns must have a budget, that every Governor must pass a budget.
We shall see.
The battle will be about sequestration according to Hume.
