@JimPethokoukis James Pethokoukis Very good GOP Hill source: Even a $2.4tr plan a tough sell now in House
McConnell has decided there is absolutely no chance of a deal to raise the limit. He knows the House is not going to go for a tax increase and has now concluded obama and the dims will opt for the default option. He knows the media will pin it on the Pubs and it’s going to be 24/7 news of granny having no more SS money so she can no longer buy cat food for her supper.
Simply stated, McConnell thinks the dims will win the propaganda war over the fallout from the feds allegedly running out of money, so he comes up with a plan to let obama and the dims unilaterally raise the debt limit and take the blame for it.
I don’t think his plan will fly and I think we are going to find out where the blame chips fall if 44% of fed spending is instantly cut and the stock market drops 600 points.
buy lots of food, bullets, and prepare....... we are going down..... country overboard.............
