Article PhotoSpeaker John Boehner (R-OH) announced Thursday that the House will move forward with a six-week debt limit extension after pitching the idea to his Republican conference during a closed-door meeting.
The plan would sustain the government shutdown -- now in its 10th day -- while temporarily averting a catastrophic debt default by authorizing continued borrowing through Nov. 22. Conservative activists like Heritage Action's chief and RedState blogger Erick Erickson paved the way for this plan this week by calling on the GOP to wage their fight against Obamacare on the government funding measure, rather than the debt ceiling.
"What we're going to do is to offer the president, today, the ability to move a temporary increase in the debt ceiling," Boehner told reporters after the meeting, "and an agreement to go to conference on the budget for his willingness to sit down and discuss with us a way forward to reopen the government and to start to deal with America's pressing problems."
kicking the can and creating another fictitious fire wall they can back off their bid to deny America health care and put it all back together tomorrow but you heard them say "we got to get something" not for the people but for them wake up punish those who torture you. 
"We're going to offer legislation that will offer a temporary increase in the debt ceiling," said Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers (WA), the No. 4 House Republican. "That will allow us some time to continue this conversation."
they've had five years to be conversant, they declared their unwillingness to help him in any way for 5 years they have tred tro destroy him and the gov't so what are the going to have a conversation about remember they have to get something just not anything for "we the people".
