Why should the Democrats not fund the plan that they put in place? This plan was voted for, it was agreed upon and it has stood up to all the normal challenges that the GOP could bring against it.
Why does the GOP feel it has the right to shut down a country, and affect the entire worlds economic markets, because it did not get what it wanted? They LOST the elections. Someone else gets to lead the country until the next elections. Deal with it. This isn't both sides. It is one side that is forcing an issue no matter what the costs are. Since when has raising the debt ceiling been an open point of negotiation? And what party was the last party to use it as such? Think about it. The playground is burning, and you have two taps to turn . The GOP says give me what I want, what I have not been able to get through any other means, or I will not turn this tap. The playground is burning. Is that what you refer to as "negotiation" ? It is blackmail! And the segment of the population that seems satisfied to sit in the flames and nod their heads is equally baffling to me. Can you think of the impact this can have on the bond and investment markets?
