WASHINGTON — Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid Tuesday warned he won't accept a deal to avert the fiscal cliff that does not also raise the debt ceiling, calling such a notion "foolish.""I agree with the president," Reid told reporters. "It has to be a packaged deal."If it is not raised by Congress before the end of the year, the nation's debt limit will need to be raised by February, setting up another round of divisive spending and tax fights and siphoning even more political capital away from President Barack Obama and Democrats eager to turn to immigration reform.
key words; "If it is not raised by Congress before the end of the year", not the Pres.
not on the Pres.'s plate but a buffet for republican congress to let us again flounder in favor of the rich.
To hash out those disagreements and others, McConnell said, Obama needs to "turn off the campaign" — a reference to Obama's plan to hit the road to promote raising taxes on the top 2% of taxpayers.
"We need to sit down and work this matter out," McConnell said.
But House Republicans also plan to take their case to the American people.
pot kettle syndrome all over again. since the news cycles are so confusing going to the people and let them see those words coming out of their mouths leaves no roo for right wing spin like they did on ObamaCares. as far as a sit down they have said they would not really take it serious with crap like "we'll consider revenue then turn and say via loopholes that they have yet to name, but had no trouble saying all the social nets have to be on the table, trouble is their table has 2 legs one shorter than the other.
