More caving by Boner:

The endgame will arrive a little sooner than expected, thanks to a deal cut with John Boehner to take the first plunge on a bipartisan plan to end the budget standoff before the theoretical debt-ceiling limit gets breached.  Instead of the Senate taking up the proposal from Harry Reid and Mitch McConnell first, Boehner will allow a vote — without amendments — and have it pass with Democrats making up the difference from expected opposition from conservatives:

More capitulation at the link.  :whatever:

So they sell out, get nothing and we get to go through this all over in a few months.

What was the point again?  :bs:

Radical thought: Get rid of Congress and the debt limit. Neither are doing their job, so why bother with them any more?  :censored:

Come on, Johnny. Not all the time. Just when they run out of copies of the Constitution.

It looks like McConnell got a $2 billion earmark added to the bill.

Quote
The McConnell-Reid bill not only funds Obamacare and suspends the debt limit, it ALSO includes a provision in Section 123 that increases the authorization for the Olmsted Lock in Kentucky from $775 million to nearly $3 billion.

It’s the Kentucky Kickback.

In exchange for funding Obamacare and raising the debt limit, Mitch McConnell has secured a $2 billion earmark.

Reminds me of a story about Winston Churchill:
WC: "Madam, would you have sex with me for 10,000 pounds?"
Lady: "Why, yes, I do believe I would, Sir Winston."
WC: "Would you have sex with me for 10 pounds?"
Lady: "Why I never! What kind of woman do you think I am?"
WC: "We've already established that, I'm negotiating the price."
