I'm not sure Boehner can stop it. The Rs couldn't pass one [yet.]
I'm no parliamentarian; how do bills come up in the House?
If he can prevent something from coming up and he's willing to cut spending by 40% and accept blame for 13% unemployment and super-shrinking GDP, Then maybe he sits.
The Rs lose control if they don't pass something. IMO. In a heartbeat, Dems would withhold payment and blame the TEA party. Obamao and MSM would cooperate of course. 1995 again.
The Democrats demand that this cannot be an election issue. What blows my mind is “Why the heck not”! This guy wants uncontrolled spending and doesn’t want the debate in 2012.
That is completely ludicrous to me. The spin has stopped in my household.
“The Rs lose control if they don’t pass something.”
They have already passed two Bills. This Bill is bogus and unnecessary. How many more Bills need to be passed?
This is total BS....
None of the payment arguments hold any water. A raise in the debt ceiling raises debt for spending not yet created. Why don’t we just pay the debt we have. Obama will lose this argument and America will be much more educated in the process.
Not one more dime over money received, balance the budget now, let Obama and the Dems stand against it.
By blocking Boehner, the so-called Tea Party has won the battle and lost the war.
I think this is a terrible mistake and it simply hands all power over to the Dems.
