Spending, Debt Ceiling out of control as Republicans Cave Again

Spending, Debt Ceiling out of control as Republicans Cave Again: "Once again, however, Republicans plan to lead the fight to cut spending . . . next time."

"Why not pass a debt-ceiling increase tied to a one-year freeze in the budget?

Why not boost the debt limit for three months with language closing a dozen antiquated federal bureaus and programs?"

"Let Reid and Obama explain why the Rural Utility Service must survive 78 years after FDR launched it in order to bring electricity to Appalachia — a mission it accomplished in the 1940s or ’50s."
