The U.S. Senate aims to vote next week on raising Washington’s borrowing authority and keeping the government funded, the chamber’s No. 2 Democrat said on Wednesday, but strong Republican opposition could lead to a historic default on the nation’s debt.
Sen. Dick Durbin said the chamber sometime next week would take up the bill passed in a party-line House of Representatives vote. Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell has said his caucus will sink the emergency legislation to suspend the $28.4 trillion federal debt ceiling.
Republicans have said Democrats should act alone to raise the debt ceiling, using a maneuver called “budget reconciliation.”
I do hope they shut it down again.
The dumbocrats own this one to the tune of three trillion dollars!
DEMONCRATS need to eliminate all their pork, cut FEDERAL staff and make the rest more efficient, cut POLITIAN salary and benefits including ridiculous retirement benefits, reduce work hours for these inefficient workers, make POLITIANS and workers work more than 6 months of the year, cut out all these Tax dollar trips while taking their families on Government paid trips.
Must I go on?
