Nicce to see that the Dems are so willing to work with the House to deal
with the debt problem. Not even to discuss the bill shows us exactly
why we need to get rid of the Dem majority in the Senate and finally get
some people in there who really care about the country. Obviously this
crew does not give a damn about us at all.

Senate Tables Boehner’s Debt Ceiling Bill
The United States Senate quickly dispatched the debt ceiling bill passed by the
House Friday evening, tabling the Republican bill indefinitely and moving
quickly to start consideration of a Democratic plan that would avoid default on

the House over the strenuous objections of nearly two dozen of his own
Republican members, the Democratic leadership in the Senate followed through on
their promise to kill his legislation.
But the move now sets up an uncertain 72 hours as the Congress moves ever
closer to the Tuesday deadline when the Treasury Department says the country
will default on its financial obligations without an increase in the debt
ceiling.
