I think that there is a very good chance that a clean bill will pass. Republicans hold a majority in the House. Surely, among that majority, there are 17 members who will sign on to a bill that is only controversial to about 20% of the electorate?

I do too at least eventually. Obama won't negotiate and they'll cave at the 11th hour, possibly after another credit downgrade.

He's got to BEG Pelosi for votes.
By virtue of that....SHE's the real Speaker and HE's the Minority Leader in the House.

Seems he's attempting to lead several different minority factions that ran as Republicans simply because no other political party would accept them into their fold.

John Boehner is a [Unwelcome language removed] moron. He's as clueless and out-of-touch as Pelosi.

Ah, here's the thread that I was looking for. The search function on this site sucks.
Anyway, I now get to say "I told ya so".

Mr. Boehner stunned House Republicans on Tuesday morning when he dropped a package that would have tied the debt ceiling increase to a repeal of cuts to military retirement pensions that had been approved in December and announced he would put a “clean” debt ceiling increase up for a vote.
Enough Republicans had balked at that package when it was presented Monday night to convince the speaker he had no choice but to turn to the Democratic minority.
For Mr. Boehner it was a potentially momentous decision. Conservative activists, including the Tea Party Patriots, FreedomWorks, L. Brent Bozell’s ForAmerica and commentators on the website RedState.com are all circulating petitions to end Mr. Boehner’s speakership.

No SW, i'm happy with the outcome. But Boehner may not be...
I'll never understand you, bugsy, and geckos obsession with Boehner, Christie, etc.
So what is the end game for the national debt? Long term 10, 20, 50 years?
Can it be paid down to a reasonable amount?
Knowing neither political party will pay it down when they are in power, is the only way to grow the economy so large that it can be paid down?
Doesn't the size of the debt eventually bring down the value of the dollar?
Why is obamacare delayed for some companies again if the website is working and it is a good law for America?

Cut the military budget in half and 30% taxation on capital gains over a million bucks .. problem solved.
I guess it was too many questions to ask you.
I like the cut military in half and close loopholes for the rich and big businesses.
How about the obamacare delay?
Is it simply for political reasons or is it because it hurts americans?
Couldn't we just write the employer mandate out for employers that currently subsidize their workers health care?

Sorry, no delay on Obamacare. The ACA means bigger pools, fewer freeloaders, and more competition. Eventually it will save huge money.
bullshit. are you hiding under a rock? Do you know how many delays Obama has given businesses pushing back their requirements to cover full timers?
lol. The question was, why was the employer mandate delayed again for some businesses?
Maybe you didn't realize it was delayed again yesterday as it didn't make the main stream media news.

Yes, for companies with 50-100 employees i believe. The delays on certain elements don't trouble me a whole lot. They'll kick in next year.
