This bill gives cover to Republicans in their election next year.
It'll be something like this
"Yes, I voted to extend the debt ceiling without the spending cuts we wanted, but before I did I passed the CC&B bill. But to avoid default and destroying the economy, which the President was holding us hostage by, we had to pass an increase"
I've been pretty impressed with Boehner thus far. Obviously, I don't like his politics but I do like him. I get the impression that Obama and Boehner actually work well together. He's being held hostage by the Tea Party. This is the real issue.
