This isn't new spending. It is to make room for spending already approved by Congress.


Maybe Congress should stop approving spending of money they don't have.





I totally agree. That's why after I max out these next three credit cards I'm NOT going to pay them. I think I may be a Republican after all. I can totally do their logic

Its going to take a real crisis to get the attention of both political parties in America. I dont blame Democrats. Republicans are the same

If it's such a frigging crisis, maybe Congress should be working.

Just a thought.

Its a political issue not a real crisis. The Tea Party made it an issue but both parties are just pandering and dont consider it to be a real crisis at all

The crisis is both very real and very political. It also may be a constructed crisis considering just how predictable it is. We know where we are going, the question is why we are seemingly unable to stop it.

I like the republican plan to require spending cuts in exchange for raising the debt ceiling.

Neither party really believes there is a real crisis

This is a fact

Neither party cares either as long as they have power and can blame someone else for the problems.

To them its just an election year political issue. The Tea Party brought it to the forefront and both parties will pander by doing various things but nothing serious.

It will take a real crisis like the Great Depression to wake them up
