Senate reaches deal on short-term debt hike into December
By Jordain Carney - 10/07/21 10:34 AM EDT

Senate Majority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) said on Thursday that he had reached an agreement with Republicans to extend the debt ceiling into December.

“We have reached an agreement to extend the debt ceiling through early December,” Schumer said.

Senators could vote on the deal as soon as Thursday.


The agreement, according to a Senate aide, would increase the debt ceiling by $480 billion, which based on Treasury Department estimates would extend the debt ceiling until Dec. 3.

Schumer didn’t provide specifics on the size of the debt hike, something he and Republicans were haggling over on Wednesday night.

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) confirmed during a floor speech that they had reached a deal.

“The Senate is moving toward the plan I laid out last night to spare the American people from an unprecedented crisis,” he said.

“The pathway our Democratic colleagues have accepted will spare the American people any near-term crisis,” McConnell added.

Mitch moves the goalposts as well as Fauci does.

Mitch is using the same excuses to raise ceiling for the past dozen times.

Makes me wonder what the buy out was. Because some people SOLD OUT.

They should have to run as Democrats next time. (not what I really think, there should be no next time, they should have enough to retire.)

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
