It's time to find 30 or so House Republicans who will support a clean increase of the debt ceiling |
|
And go from there. I see that as the only option besides the 14th at this point.
It shouldn't be hard to find 7 Repubs in the Senate.

1. House leadership controls the floor schedule. |
|
Doubtful they would allow a vote.

3. Not something that can be forced to floor in less than a week. |

4. If Boehner gives a shit about his investments/etc. he will allow anything. |
|
I don't think he gives a shit about the country as a whole.

9. He still has more time before the gulp last resort move |
|
or the move I think most think will finally happen. In the mean time there's still a few more days for his investor friends to make money shorting the market and the dollar.

6. This is all wishful thinking |
|
30 is a big number. Plus even Boehner's plan is unpopular among the GOP since it is not conservative enough!
I think it is very unsettling that even Boehner does not have control over the tea party caucus in the house. Doubt it any bills will get passed...

7. Apparently Hoyer has 170, so they'd need 46 pugs. nt |
