The House last week passed Cap, Cut, and Balance with bi-partisan support. The Democrat controlled Senate tabled the bill without even the decency of having a debate.Last night the House passed another bill that wasn’t as good as the first as far as truly addressing the financial woes of the country. And again the Senate tabled it without a debate.
Yet still the Democrats like Harry Reid, Chuck Schumer, and Dick Durbin have the gall to accuse the GOP of not wanting to compromise.
What is the GOP controlled House supposed to do when they’re the only branch of government offering plan after plan while the Democrats are the ones refusing to deal seriously with our nations spending? It’s the Democrats with Presidents Obamam’s failed policy of super spending that has put us in this situation in the first place.
Could it be that the Democrats are actively forcing a financial collapse of the United States so they can offer up even more big government to fix it?
Sure looks lie it to me?
The Caucus, New York Times
The United States Senate quickly dispatched the debt ceiling bill passed by the House Friday evening, tabling the Republican bill indefinitely and moving quickly to start consideration of a Democratic plan that would avoid default on Tuesday.
Less than two hours after House Speaker John A. Boehner pushed his bill through the House over the strenuous objections of nearly two dozen of his own Republican members, the Democratic leadership in the Senate followed through on their promise to kill his legislation.
But the move now sets up an uncertain 72 hours as the Congress moves ever closer to the Tuesday deadline when the Treasury Department says the country will default on its financial obligations without an increase in the debt ceiling.
Mr. Reid said he intends to start the legislative clock ticking on Friday on a new plan to raise the debt ceiling. But Mr. Reid could wait until later in the evening on Friday to allow more time for negotiation throughout the evening.
