They did NOT pass a debt limit increase. They passed this sham of a budget bill which could allow for an increase, but not without ridiculous stipulations there isn't the time to pursue, much less pass. A "balanced budget amendment" doesn't have a snowball's chance in hell of getting the majorities needed to pass.It died a swift and proper death in the Senate, where sanity has been given asylum this session. Wisest thing to do is pass a clean debt ceiling increase, just like they did during bush, over and over again. The (republican) reason things are stagnating economically is that Congress is NOT doing its job, NOT implementing the laws already passed so everyone can adjust to how it is. Without those laws enacted fully, this limbo will persist. Fact is, we need to get rid of them ASAP so we can get back to work, get some infrastructure funded so we can continue growth and redevelop revenue sources to pay for it all. THEN we can see what needs cutting. |
