CCB would have raised the debt ceiling #2.4 TRILLION. Why would anyone want to do it in stages?
Maybe it won't pass the first time or the second but we need to have the conversation out there.
If the Republicans had wanted a balanced budget they had it right in front of them. All they had to do was nothing. Don't raise the debt ceiling.
So, the rest of the charade impresses me not at all.
“Don’t raise the debt ceiling.”
Then Tim Geithner would get to make the call on where to spend and where to cut.
And who do you suppose he gets his orders from?
BHO et al have so scared the uninformed masses with threat of default that they’d still hate the Repubs as they step into the voting booth next year.
Obama, the Dems and MSM would see to that.
