In the end, 12 Republicans voted to end debate in the 67-31 vote. On final passage, the bill suspending the debt ceiling until March 15, 2015, was approved in a 55-43 vote, with every Republican voting no. This is the standard mode of operation for our Senate (most all of them save for 2 or three, IMO) SHOW VOTES...designed to capitulate without firing a shot when it really counts (where they could kill off a bill), and then turning around and symbolically voting the opposite so they can go home and LIE to their constituents.
Nothing more than a bunch of duplicitous traitors, IMO. I'm done with GOP.

Good thing I’m taking my vacation this year. Sounds like I’ll have bigger things to worry about after this year.

Sometimes it looks like the difference between Dem. and Rep. is the difference between Cloward and Piven.

It raises the debt ceiling until March of 2015... It raises the debt ceiling to what value?
Is it true that they "raised" it, without giving the ceiling a value?
That is, if so, a blank check for some number of months, to be spent as these clowns feel fit?
