John Boehner Unveils New Debt Ceiling Plan: Bitch, Bail, and Flail
The Republican talking point is Democrats dont have a plan. This is based on the faulty premise that that the country needs a plan in order to raise the debt ceiling. We need one line of legislation, not a plan. What is happening here is that Republicans are trying to use the debt ceiling crisis as a backdoor means of killing Social Security and Medicare. Thats what cut, cap, and balance is really about.
After the first Republican plan (Operation: Debt Ceiling Hostage) ran smack into a brick wall named Barack Obama, Boehner came up with bitch, bail, and flail. Of course this plan wont lower the debt, or raise the debt ceiling. By this point, Boehner and the GOP are doing damage control.
Bitch, bail, and fail is all about trying to win back the favor of the tea party. Republicans have already lost the debt ceiling battle. All that is left to be seen is whether they are foolish enough to nuke the US economy by pushing the big red default button.
The plan is a bill, which is required under how Congress functions. The Democrats clearly stopped the first attempt. Now they will get a worse deal forced under a last minute default shadow.
