Hate him all you want but my sense from these debt ceiling negotiations is that Obama is (for better or worse) willing to go along with some of the more unpopular cuts proposed by the Republicans (ss and medicare) despite the fact that Pelosi is bitching left and right about the possibility.
Somewhere in the beginning of this thread I stated that I thought we'd probably come up with some piece of shit legislation that doesn't do anything to address the deficit/debt (a band-aid). I'm more convinced of that every day.
Although I'm uncertain about what the consequences would be for not raising it I'd almost rather do that than slap some band-aid on our problems. Sucks.
