Vote was along party lines. Senate Republicans want to destroy our credit, our economy, and our currency. This was the non-compromise plan in raising the debt ceiling without the necessary balance of revenues and cuts.
All they have to do is what most Americans want, a balanced approach that is sound and viable as all economists suggest. That is to say if such a plan must be attached to raising the debt ceiling which the GOP has done countless times in the several decades without holding the American economy hostage.
LOL. As if the Senate's time is so terribly precious. I wish more of the Senate's time could be frittered away so it wasn't visiting destruction on the nation by doing things like passing nationalized health care.
so it wasn't visiting destruction on the nation by doing things like passing nationalized health care.
...which they did not do. We don't have nationalized health care with the exceptions of specific programs that some Americans are in like the VA and Medicare. Instead we continue to have corrupt, immoral and train wreck of a health coverage "system" that is a disgrace.
The US being EQUAL to Somalia is a Liberal wet dream, not a Republican one.
How does this make sense to anyone who has even a semblance of reality in their brain?
Republicans/Conservobots believe in survival of the fittest and that the rich are richer because they are smarter/fitter than everyone else. We should continue to further polices that make them richer because that is their devine right. Then, as the country degrades into chaos, those with the money should buy as many guns as possible, put up a wall around their house, and shoot all those beneath them who weren't smart enough to reap the rewards of capital gains tax laws.
How this isn't a policy that pushes a nation into a 3rd world status, I have no idea.

The job of Congress is to pass a budget. The Senate has FAILED for almost 2 years to do their job. They're the ones wasting our time, while collecting a paycheck.
Then, when a piece of legislature is presented before them, they refuse to vote on it, terrified that their record will be made public.
If they don't want to do the job they elected to do, they need to get out the way and let folks in that want to do the work.

(Actually a balanced budget and a limit on spending would not ruin an economy, it is what all solvent households in America do daily. So your accusations against non-progressive Republicans would be false.) This was the non-compromise plan in raising the debt ceiling without the necessary balance of revenues and cuts.

Isn't it the Democrats growing TAX BURDENS on the American people? Growth, TREMENDOUS growth in the numbers of government employees as a percentage of the population. Growth, TREMENDOUS growth in the government connected unions that drain our accounts and the great society programs that cause the same.
People pay taxes and the government keeps growing spending, so where are cuts needed?
