House votes to defuse debt limit crisis
House votes overwhelmingly to defuse debt crisis, decides to increase borrowing limit
By Andrew Taylor – 1-23-2013, 2:00 ET
WASHINGTON (AP) -- The House overwhelmingly passed a bill Wednesday to permit the government to borrow enough money to avoid a first-time default for at least four months, defusing a looming crisis setting up a springtime debate over taxes, spending and the deficit.
The House passed the measure on a bipartisan 285-144 vote as majority Republicans back away from their previous demand that any increase in the government's borrowing cap be paired with an equivalent level of spending cuts.

[There is in fact no longer a numerical borrowing limit, since no new spending limit was put into this bill.]

Amash voted against it, of course Ryan voted for it. Bachmann voted against it. My rep Kevin Brady voted for it - NeoCon.

That Solves Everything
This extra 4 months will allow them to get the money to pay everything off...yeah that's the ticket...
The checks in the mail...I swear it is!...
article title effing hilarious..
love people who stuff their opinion into sentences.. "diffuse".. the word of choice.. do these fucking liberals seriously think they're being stealthy with their opinions or something? they think putting off 16 trillion of problem until it gets to 20+ trillion is the way to solve the problem, like our economy is going to expand by 25% during the next 4 years.. oh, right.. you're just 'reporting'.. my ass
"diffuse"
what was diffused? The coming bang is just getting bigger!

A blank check for 4 months
now that should do the trick?
This is insane. The amount of money borrowed, printed, spent will go through the roof for the next 4 months until the ceiling is put back on (if it ever is).
So maybe I expatriate away all my future income so as to remove my obligation to pay for this catastrophe.

Notice...
There wasn't any mention of HOW much money was authorized until May. The House bill also includes the provision that if a budget is not submitted by April 15th, the pay of congress will be placed in escrow. How many of us think that's going to happen?
A good analogy for the debt ceiling
A friend sent this to me a while back:
Let's say, you come home from work and find there has been a sewer backup
in your neighborhood, and your home has raw sewage up to your ceilings.
What do you think you should do?
A. Raise the ceilings, or
B. Pump out the sewage

These are serious criminals
both sides - some serious evil. To watch them in action is more and more disgusting as they take us down. When this is just too big we can only turn to God - The heathen are sunk down in the pit that they made. In the net which they hid is their own foot taken... his mouth full of deceit and fraud, under his tongue is mischeif and vanity... the wicked shall be turned into hell and all the nations that forget God. Just saying. (that Psalms 10 applies to everyone on this earth).

He just said this was a victory for President Obama. So raising our debt limit is a victory? What the fuck is wrong with these people? Are they all on drugs?
They all used this to implode the economy
and it gives both sides cover. Harry R. is talking we need more "revenue". Really? Election recall.... 10th ammendment?
