Yep. The feral republicans are crapping on the lawn again.

I'm not sure how they manage to spin this against Democrats. Raising the debt ceiling is only necessary when we need to sell T-bonds at 0% interest to the rest of the world to pay for the spending THE REPUBLICAN HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES HAVE ALREADY APPROVED. Remember, all approved spending bills must be, and already have been, approved by the Republican house. They've already spent the money, now they don't want to pay the credit card statement. They think they can point the fingers at the Democrats and skate responsibility.
The feral republicans say, "We won't pay the credit card bill unless you deny women's health care via planned parenthood."
"But the videos have been proven false and misleading!"
"We don't care. The voters don't know that."

What a bunch of shysters and charlatans.

It just passed the House.

"A coalition of Democrats, GOP defense hawks and pragmatic Republicans supported the measure.

The legislation now heads to the Senate, which is on track to pass it before Tuesday's deadline for increasing the so-called debt limit. It gives the government authority to borrow freely through March 2017."
