Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said Sunday that the Republican-controlled Congress won’t shut down the federal government or allow it to default as the Treasury Department quickly approaches its so-called “debt ceiling.”

“I made it clear after November that we won’t shut down the government or default on debt,” the Kentucky Republican told CBS’ “Face the Nation.”

Just cannot get any more hopeless to save this country.

There is no political solution at all.

Hey Mitch, you slimebag, there’s a BIG difference between “shutting down the government” and shutting down a tiny part of it (some, not all) of DHS.

America is heading completely in the opposite direction of what we should be doing.

100%.

We need to increase the number of American jobs, and decrease the amount of stuff we import.

GOP please stand up.

The Turtle heads for his shell well in advance of the deadline, a sure way to lose the Senate next year.

Come to think of it, why is Mitch commenting on this at all? Seems that should be Boehner’s job as federal funding has to come from the House. Or has that part of the Constitution been shredded too?

Obama and Media: “If they don’t fund us the government will shut down.”

McConnell: “We will not let the government shut down.”

Wash, rinse and repeat until election day.

I wish the big lie about defaulting, if debt limit is not increased would end. It really is a ridiculous statement on it’s face.

So why even talk about the debt ceiling as an issue? Obama can spend whatever he wants and it will be rubber stamped. McConnell has effectively eliminated the debt ceiling.

Yes... and he will continue to prove it on what appears to be a weekly schedule.
