have you noticed the right wing keeps claiming Pres. is not serious h wants to kick the can down the road, why outside of them we never hear that instead we do hear that the republicans may go for a short term fix, while the Pres. wants a big deal long term. kinda aligns with they do the dirt then try to kick it on Pres.'s shoes, where have i heard that before?
Newser) – House Republicans are coming around to the idea of raising the debt ceiling—for a few months anyway. At a closed-door session at the caucus' annual Williamsburg, Va., retreat yesterday, Paul Ryan championed a plan to pass an extension of, say, one to three months, and shift the debate to the government's other looming economic doomsday deadlines, like the March 1 automatic spending cuts, the Wall Street Journal reports.
Several other ideas were put forward at the meeting as well, but the extension seems to have the momentum. "We're all pretty much on board," said one representative, who added that John Boehner was among the idea's fans. Ryan told reporters yesterday that leadership hoped to use the retreat to manage the rank-and-file's expectations and highlight the "realities of divided government," and the consequences of upcoming fiscal deadlines, the Huffington Post reports. In other debt ceiling news:
- In the Senate, Republican Pat Toomey is pushing ahead with a fallback plan that would order the Treasury to prioritize payments on US debt interest, military salaries, and Social Security, and authorize it to borrow as needed to make those payments. The bill now has 30 co-sponsors, CNNMoney reports, but there's no sign that Obama would sign it.
ok your turn where have you heard that before? they still have no ideas just plagiarizing the Pres. and acting like it's their's. Ryan was a liar then and a confused liar now, and yet the idiots pick him to give advice, don't they see the capitol "L" on his forehead?
