Moody's: Neither Debt Plan Protects the Nations' AAA Rating

Kandahar said:
You mean the ones who voted against Boehner's plan? Or do you mean the agreement that actually ended up passing? As far as I can tell there is no reason to believe that the Democrats who voted against the final plan wouldn't have been amenable to raising the debt ceiling if the final agreement was different (I'm unaware of a single Democrat flatly refusing to raise the debt ceiling this year). That isn't the case with the Republican holdouts, who seem to be willing to let the country default. And lest you think I'm being partisan or unfair to the Republicans, I'm sure that the next time we have a Republican president and a Democratic Congress, the Democrats will be just as irresponsible with the debt ceiling.

The House quickly passed a bill to raise the debt ceiling. The Dems in the Senate blocked it. Why does this have to be brought up still?
