House passes ‘clean’ debt-ceiling bill, ending two-week showdown

[AlphaQuant]

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.
