The thing to remember here is that between Democrats and sane Republicans, the votes are there for a clean debt limit hike. Combine that with the fact that the votes aren't there for a ransom note, a clean debt limit bill is actually the only option for House Republicans, yet they still cannot bring themselves to acknowledge this obvious reality, at least according to this CNN report:
"Its unclear now what House GOP leaders will do."
There's nothing to discuss. The debt ceiling should be the most boring thing in the world. It needs to get raised, and the way you raise it is simply by raising it. This is not rocket science. There's no good reason that House GOP leadership hasn't taken care of business already.
I hope everyone who wrote those article talking about how House Speaker John Boehner was pleased to finally be back in control of his caucus, because if this is what control looks like, I'd hate to see mayhem.
