this measure is a total waste of ****ing time
how?
because the party in power is pledged to kill it?
no, this is a sincere statement of principled solutions to our budget mess passed by the house of represenatatives to the us senate for consideration
pooh pooh it at your pleasure
and vote it down upstairs, by all means
let miserable ms mccaskill explain her veto all next year to the show me's
but the debt ceiling debate has moved astonishingly far and fast in the last few months
why, it was just february when our poor, perplexed potus submitted to congress his budget which actually RAISED borrowing 20 additional percent
in april the party's own senate killed it---unanimously
at gwu on april 13 obama reinvented himself as the slasher
that is, his position has moved some 6 to 8 trillion dollars towards CUTS in the last 6 months
hurryup harry just a few months ago demanded that CLEAN lift of the ceiling, all recall
the mcconnell plan, now mcconnell-reid, has gone from a
recommendation of T's of cuts to a now mandated 1.5T
boehner's ccb transformed over the weekend from dollar for dollar (2.4T cuts for 2.4T borrowing, enough to get thru the presidential) to 5.8T in cuts for the same 2.4
this gang of 6 proposal is out there trumpeting its sudden 3.75T in cuts
that's 3.75 TRILLION DOLLARS in reductions---to medicare, medicaid, the entitlements...
bottom line---this
waste of time is saving future generations from the financing costs of some 6 to 8 tril of more immediate borrowing
and we're not done yet
watch the parties race to cut
