One hundred seventy-four House Republicans and 95 House Democrats voted to make a technical amendment to the Education Sciences Reform Act of 2002 and viola the debt ceiling is on its way to a huge $2.4 trillion increase. It really wasn't all that hard, was it?
To be sure, the bill would not have passed if it wasn't for the courageous, freedom fighting patriots of the tea bagger faction. They voted an overwhelming 32-28 to increase the nation's debt. What happened to their principles and morals? Oh well doesn't matter now, this is all to go down the memory hole never to be mentioned again. Or if it is, only in the context that Barack Hussein Obama is an enemy and their vote to give him a blank check was really to subvert him and save America.
The big pile of dog crap is expected to head to the senate tonight where it will probably pass first thing in the morning. Thank goodness, though, these fiscal conservatives of the GOP really showed us how Serious and Patriotic they are. Just think, without them we would have raised the debt ceiling anyway.
