Friday Pussy no egg on her face

There was almost something done in congress yesterday. Ha! And we all thought they did nothing all day. I take that back they did basically nothing. Laying the trap Harry Ried permitted Mitch McConnell to bring forth a bill concerning the debt ceiling. It would have given the president the power to raise the debt ceiling without congressional approval. Why would McConnell agree to such a move? He figured that the senate would not have enough democratic votes to pass such legislation. Reid pulled a quick one by demanding passage with only 51 votes instead of a 61 vote super majority.  McConnell was therefore forced to filibuster his own bill. Talk about psychosis. Careful what you wish for Mitch you just might get it.

Now for anyone following this three ring circus the congress has exactly three days left to hash out of budget before we all go crashing off a cliff. Rumor has it that the republicans are waiting for it to all come crashing down before they'll do anything. Which means next year. Now if that's their plan they'd better think twice about that. It would mean sending the economy into a recession, lowering our credit rating and massive automatic cuts to everything from the military down to the disabled. And that's not to mention what it would do to the world economy. Everyone seems to be on the same page on this issue. Business doesn't want a crash. Wall Street couldn't play their games and the average working stiff would see his taxes raised to boot. And we'd all know who's fault it would be. The president made his offer and the republicans made their counter offer which was the same Romney Ryan plan they pushed for the last year that America hated and voted against. Bank fails later

Yes, and so much for the democratic process called voting. Ass wipes...aka, arrogant, in-your-face, obstructionists, hell bent to keep the power, for power's sake.

I like a stalled economy, it keeps prices down. Just keep my checks coming and I'll do well enough.

And if it doesn't rain all day maybe I'll get a steel cabinet moved out of here to make room for a big new unit.

Mitch McConnell filibustering himself, LOL. I knew he had 40 chins; I didn't know he had a dual personality to go along with them.

Demeur said...

Five bucks eh? You won't have five bucks come January. And none of us will have a pot to pee in either.

Don't click on Victorias' link at work boys.

Randal congress is so old now they're asexual.

We'll see Jerry.

I guess you don't have to be psychotic to be a republican but it sure helps.

BBC said...

Oh, I'll have five bucks even if my check doesn't come.

S.W. Anderson said...

McConnell makes a fool of himself regularly, IMO. But filibustering a vote on a measure he had just asked for was over the top, even for him. I don't think the Senate had a towel big enough to get all the egg off his face.

" . . . and the average working stiff would see his taxes raised . . ."

Not really. If no deal is reached and nothing is done, the Bush tax cuts expire. That means everyone's rates return to what they were in 1999.

BBC said...

It's going to be a fine Saturday.

Demeur said...

It was funny the chairman of the house said she got whiplash from that little stunt.

At least it isn't supposed to rain today. Might get something done around here.
