What about the provision in this "compromise" Levin was talking about that changes the way future debt ceilings are voted on?

As I understand it would automatically allow for the debt ceiling to be raised whenever Obama wants it and it would require 2/3 majority to stop it.

Don’t forget a very important point.

As it is now, congress critters must vote to raise the debt limit.

That puts their name on the line and those who oppose it can vote accordingly.

Under the new law, all the critter has to do is sit still and say nothing. His name does not end up on an ugly list.

A very very under the table way of stealing our money with no bad press.

No. Take a look at the thread. There is a problem with it but nothing like that.

I hadn't heard that. Do you have some kind of a link to verify?
