Reid Calls for NO POLITICS on Debt Ceiling…
Then begins to play politics.
from FOXNews
As the nation hits a milestone few, if any, would celebrate, with the Treasury maxing out its legal borrowing limit for the federal government, lawmakers continued to grapple with ways to shrink the size of the U.S. debt in order to garner enough votes to approve an increase in the U.S. credit limit. But an epic political fight over how and whether to overhaul Medicare is roiling negotiations over a compromise.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., marking the date, used a bit of complex circular logic to return to the topic on which Democrats feel they have been making some political hay of late in the wake of an unpopular House GOP proposal to overhaul Medicare, giving seniors vouchers to purchase health insurance, with the leader, at the same time, admonishing Republicans for playing politics with the debt limit.
"If we don't act, if we allow the United States to default, the day of reckoning will be much, much worse than today," the leader warned, adding, "We can't afford to play these political games and trigger a default crisis that will lead to a catastrophe. We can't afford to make unrealistic demands or hold hostage policies that affect real people."
You can blame the people of his district for re-electing this dummycrat back into office.
