re: #64 RanchTooth

The problem is both the debt ceiling AND the deficit however. The the GOP thinks that they can use this strategy to get out of closing tax loopholes and other new taxes, I think they’re very wrong. New taxes should be a part of any deal passed by this congress, although the debt ceiling is obviously the imminent threat.

Ayep, because unless the GOP wishes to close out this year without passing a budget, then they’re going to have to face this shit again. And the Ryan Plan is DOA in the Senate, so they’re gonna have to compromise in the conference committee if they want a budget to send to Obama.
