87 Will Fold - Debt Ceiling to be Raised

[longfisher]

87 new GOP freshmen congresspersons are under sustained pressure from not just the Obamaites, but also, from senior GOPers to abandon their principled position on the national debt ceiling. Some are breaking already. Most will follow.

It's a pity. The Taxed-enough-already folks seemed like the real deal for a while.

I was hoping they would hold out. Annoying as hell to see them cave at all, let alone so soon.

....one data point does not make a trend.....and it's better to lose the battle and win the war...facts are that the spending habits of Washington will not signifcantly change until Americans stand up and demnad it.....the ground swell began less than two yeras ago....and it's still growing...... prediction....at a minimum the dems will not hold the senate after 2012 and if we're fortunate....neither will they hold the executive branch...

The dollar will not hold as the world reserve currency for much longer. So long to the days of simply printing money to pay down debts...Entitlements, Unions, Illegals...gone. It's just not financially possible without being able to print the worlds reserve currency. it's gonna be rough, but it'll force heads out of the sand and start the real change.
