re: #407 Lawrence Schmerel
So, if the situation gets reversed, and Democrats make demands accompanying a debt ceiling increase, will we call them hypocrites and demand that they raise the debt ceiling without any conditions?
I guess it will depend on whether this particular increase is being viewed as a one-off aberration (in which an attempt to repeat it is hypocritical) or a seachange in which the new way of doing business in Congress regarding the debt ceiling is to use it as a hostage in order to cut deals.
