Heard today that there will be no deal and that BO will be forced to use executive powers to fund the gov and then the house will impeach.

Hopefully this happens. I really don't think the Supreme Court would rule that the debt ceiling is even constitutional, and it would really be nice to see that challenged so we can stop going through all of this garbage every year.

Why would the debt ceiling be unconstitutional? Do you still believe that raising the debt ceiling is a prerequisite to servicing our debt? I mean, I can't really blame you for being confused, what with all the "default" lies from this administration and media lapdogs.

It's an obstacle to servicing our debt and under the 14th amendment, it is unconstitutional to not pay our debt.

Except that the debt ceiling is not an obstacle to servicing our debt.

Doesn't the House still have to agree to the Senate's deal?

I want to watch the House vote. This is going to be entertaining. If they somehow screw up like the did in 2008 over TARP, the market will tank and we'll all lose our jobs!

Thing on CNN a couple hours ago said that the Senate bill would raise debt ceiling to Feb 7th and reopen govt Jan 15th. That can't be right, right? I mean, the Feb 7th thing should give time to actually accomplish a budget if everyone can stop being Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!), but the Jan 15th number is full of WTF.

Nvm, it has since been edited to say the govt will be funded through Jan 15th.

Yeah. The government is going to shut down again on Jan 15 and then reopen on Feb 7 with nothing accomplished.

What's the 24 billion?

Someone's gonna have to summarize the deal for me.

If it causes the right to reject some extremism and come back towards the middle, it's probably worth it.

I'm not holding my breath, though.
