re: #157 Dark_Falcon

The problem is that all the Senate GOP would have done in voting for that bill would have been to drive an even greater wedge between them and their House fellows. Any Senate bill that resolves the crisis is either going to have to be a Republican bill or a bipartisan one. No Senate Democratic bill is going to be allowed a floor vote in the House.

So then we’re headed for default because the GOP can’t get it through their thick fucking skulls that they don’t deserve a cookie for not blowing up the economy.
