Why Didn't This Hit The Mainstream News?

Media Ignores Senate Procedure
Last Thursday the United States Senate passed a hike of $500 BILLION to the debt ceiling in an unusual procedure. This officially lifts our debt ceiling to $15.9 TRILLION dollars. Perhaps the Left-Wing media didn't deem this to be newsworthy.

Recall that this "deal" was worked-out by John Boehner (R, OH and GOB [Good-Old-Boy]) and Harry Reid (D, NV Progressive union supporter) last August. It allows Obama to keep borrowing and spending to the new limit. The vote for this "deal" was 52-45. Do you know how your US Senators voted on it? You should!

DEMs Change the Rules
Senate Democrats however just changed the rules agreed to in the August agreement. Under the August agreement, the lawmakers in both houses had to vote on a resolution of disapproval against the increase of borrowing limits. This in effect, would allow the GOP to veto the measure. Obama would then still have his veto to override the GOP's no vote. But the Senate DEMs didn't like this arrangement, so THEY CUT it out of the deal. This eliminated the "negotiated" (built-in) fail safe for the GOP.

Moral of This Action
You cannot TRUST Progressives! Actually, you cannot trust ANY politician! This is just more proof that we need to make a clean sweep in the upcoming 2012 elections. Dump the DEM incumbents for sure and consider doing the same for the GOPs as well. Corruption is corruption. Both parties will screw you the first chance they get. Congress should have term limits, but since they won't do it, we will!
