WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. borrowing authority would be extended until March 2017, beyond the Obama administration, under a deal being negotiated by congressional leaders and the White House, according to a U.S. House of Representatives source.

As part of a parallel measure to fund government programs through Sept. 30, 2017, negotiators also aim to stop an increase in Medicare Part B premiums that is otherwise due to start soon.

The second I heard Bonehead was staying through November I KNEW he would try to pull this exact stunt!

He would be gone, but would with his final act ensure conservatives could not shut down the government for all of Obama’s remaining time in office.

One last FU to conservatives before leaving!

WHY THE MULTI-YEAR DEAL?

The spineless Republicrats don't want to be embarrassed by getting caught cooperating with King Obama
to raise the debt limit again in October 2016 just before the next presidential election.

They figure voters won't remember a year from now how they worked with Obama to screw us again.

Not one of them has the guts to stand up in Congress and read this quote from Obama.

Yep, it’s a repeat of what he did with the ‘cromnibus’ after the election.

Busts the sequester too of course.

You mean the House is actually going to do their job and pass a budget? Holy cow will miracles ever cease. This is a miracle. No more stupid illegal Continuing Resolutions.

GOP is tying the next presidents hands as much as they can.

If its Trump he will have to get rid of Ryan and McConnell to get illegal immigration reform passed, and both those Aholes are pro Amnesty.

Also, We need to get the deficits down and they will be making a budget that will have to be revised to do that.

Mitch “preemptive surrender” McConnell vs Donald “take no prisoners” Trump? The opening bell will be enough to cause McConnell to pass out.

The wimp RINOs can’t stand up to Obama, and he is the biggest nancy-boy since Carter.

This neuters the Rep-controlled Congress for the rest of Obama's term, not that there was anything to neuter.

Both parties want the caps off so Big Government can spend more. The political and corporate elites could care less about America.

They could care less about the future of our nation. Borrow today to support the failed policies of the past and everyone can spend so those donations keep coming. I can’t believe we re-elect them!
