Senate Debt Deal Includes Provision Lessening Congress' Power On Debt Ceiling
Breitbart ^
Posted on 10/16/2013 4:49:51 PM PDT by Perdogg
Capitol Hill talk regarding the Senate deal apparently includes a provision that would take away the Congress’ power to increase the debt ceiling. According to Politico, it looks like the buzz appears to be true.:
The plan includes a proposal offered by McConnell in the 2011 debt ceiling crisis that allows Congress to disapprove of the debt ceiling increase, which means lawmakers will formally vote on whether to reject a debt ceiling increase until Feb. 7. Obama can veto that legislation if it passes. If Congress fails as expected to gather a two-thirds majority to override the veto, the debt ceiling would be raised.

Essentially, this is unlimited spending by Obamugabe. He will never have to ask for a debt ceiling increase.
Ever.
Mitch, you have betrayed the Republic if this is true.

Money still has to be appropriated by congress before it can be spent. Borrowing and spending are two different things.

Yet more power to Obastard. McConnell should fall on his sword.

Unfortunately, that is nothing less than a license to print money ... unlimited
amounts of money ... Weimar Republic style!

The little piggies screw
the US Constitution AND the American public,
but fear not:
al Qaeda will be armed.
Narcoterrorists will be armed.
The border will be left open.
Congress will get kickbacks every way possible,
and not be under the “laws” they pass.
Americans have NEVER hated their corrupt tyrannical
government as much as now.

anyone who had a chance to stop this but didn't is a coward
there was no crisis anyway only an imaginary media crises. there was never any chance of default. they didn't have to raise the debt ceiling nor reopen the stupid gov

Dear john Boehner and eric cantor and assorted other republicans,
As soon as I take your knife out of my back, turnabout will be fair play.

This is classic accountability avoidance by Congress. Debt going up? Nothing we can do about it.

If there isn't an appropriation, they can't spend. The next round up automatic sequester cuts of 109B is coming up in January.

Help me out: If Congress passes a debt limit bill, Obama vetoes it, and Congress can't override it, then the debt limit automatically goes up?
What kind of idiotic legislation is that?
