Senate Democrats raise debt ceiling after filibuster deal
By Jordain Carney - 12/14/21 05:00 PM EST

Senate Democrats on Tuesday voted to raise the debt ceiling, bypassing a GOP filibuster as part of a deal struck by congressional leaders.

Senators voted 50-49 along party lines to raise the debt ceiling by $2.5 trillion. Though GOP senators supported legislation last week setting up the simple majority vote, none voted for the bill to increase the debt ceiling.

“As I have said repeatedly, this is about paying debt accumulated by both parties so I’m pleased we came together to facilitate a process that has made addressing the debt ceiling possible,” Senate Majority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) said ahead of the vote.

I mentioned earlier that with complict RINO's are making it unpalaltable to have any faith of these turds in the majority.

I'll say it again...  GOP in charge?   Not better, just less shitty.

At this point the debt ceiling is a farce. Just get rid of it and let them drive us off the cliff unabated.

It hasn't been meaningful for years now.
