And all we get are promises that the rate of indebtedness will be reduced over 10 years. By future Congresses that wll be passing laws they think necessary??

Meantime, the tax increases in Obamacare will continue on schedule. The 'Bush' tax cuts ($4Tril) are at risk. and, the baby boomers will be starting to collect on SS and medicare.

We got screwed!!!

What’s to say any new debt bill would be adhered to any way?

“Congressional Budget and Impoundment Control Act” of 1974
“Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act” of 1985
“Budget Enforcement Act” of 1990
“Balanced Budget Act” of 1997.
“Restoring Fiscal Discipline Act” of 2007  
Yep, just one more bill  ought to do it.

Why not just call whatever they pass The “Kick the Can Down the Road Bamboozlement Act ”  of 2011 ?

The only hope is that TEA partiers will hold out. But either way, the “O” just got amnesty.

Of course it’s the largest debt limit increase in U.S. history, it’s the largest debt in U.S. history.

The Bush tax cuts are no more at risk than they ever were.

You were attack, just remember rinos have terrible vision, and a tendency to drink kook-aide. Just step aside at the last minute and kick them in the ass as they run by.

It’s even worse than you thought! I received an e-mail from Gun Owners of America saying that this new “super congress” committee will have extensive, unchecked powers over far more than the budget and debt. GOA claims that this committee could push through drastic gun control measures, including ones blessed by the UN, and the rest of Congress would not be able to stop them.

This is NOT the government our founders gave us. This is monstrous and unconstitutional. GOA urges everyone to contact their senators and reps now.
