Comes as a surprise to me - ceiling raised with no strings attached!

***********
The House passed a yearlong suspension of the Treasury’s debt limit Tuesday in a vote that left Republicans once again ceding control to Democrats, following a collapse in support for an earlier proposal advanced by GOP leaders.

In a narrow vote, 221-201, 28 Republicans voted with 193 Democrats to approve a “clean” extension of the federal government’s borrowing authority — one without strings attached — sending the legislation to the Senate for a posssible final vote later this week. Two Democrats and 199 Republicans voted no.

The last round was too damaging politically for them.

I would be interested to know the public opinion poll for the % of average Americans that really thought Obamacare is going to "destroy the US economy".

The GOP is not so stupid after all.

The proverbial can is kicked down the road again.....

Now is playing music chair, keep kicking the bomb down... lol
