Clean Debt Limit To Pass

It's truly amazing when you can't get a majority of Republicans in the House to vote to pay our bills, most of which they ran up. The party of NO would rather see our country default. At least Boehner has the stones to bring the Democrats to the rescue:

Score another one for Obama, but it's really hard for him to work with a bunch of imbeciles on the other side of the aisle!

LOL @ "vote to pay our bills".

Our?

I didn't want 90 percent of this crap.

You pay for it.

Pay?

They'll vote to open another credit card account to pay off the first twenty cards.

We're broke, and you could confiscate 100% of the wealth in a Marxist banana republic takeover and still not pay it all off.

LOL...ya'll are re-arranging deck chairs on the Titanic.

Ya', what Anti said!!!!

Thanks for posting that NB.

Now "the tactic of threatening default or threatening the full faith and credit of the United States for budget debates is over, off the table and never is going to happen again."

It will be a "boost for confidence and investment in the US".

It's time to work on the economy and get people back to work.

Good job President Obama!

Very good points, Achigan. The Senate, including Senator Mitch McConnell, has passed a clean debt limit bill:

We now have the stability we haven't seen since Obama was first sworn in. Our entitlement programs, Social Security and Medicare, are no longer being threatened by the Tea Party. We have a budget in place that has literally cut our deficit in half. We have more people with health insurance than ever before, and the escalating costs for healthcare have been slowing down over the past few years. We are out of Iraq, and hopefully soon to be out of Afghanistan, and finally, economists are predicting a decisive uptick in our economy in 2014! Good job indeed by President Obama!

Good article NB, thanks for posting.

It's good to see that the "Republican seem to be regaining their grip on sanity this week".

Thank you again President Obama for a job well done. It's not easy working with a bunch of GOP and Tea Party dead heads.
