All of them.One Of The Top Senate Democrats Just Called Republicans' Bluff On The Debt Ceiling
BRETT LOGIURATO
ty Murray (D-Wash.), the chair of the Senate Budget Committee, sent a letter Friday to Senate colleagues calling on Republicans to drop any potential brinksmanship over raising the debt ceiling next month.
Murray also re-released a memo issued last year, in the midst of the last frantic fiscal fights over raising the debt ceiling and over the government shutdown.
In the memo, Murray wrote that the end game is predictable it always ends with a debt-ceiling increase, no matter how serious the perceived threat.
As you all know, they have tried this before, and the bottom line is the story always ends with a debt-ceiling increase, Murray wrote.

(25,183 posts)She's just hovering over it with a really long straw. Frankly, I worry that this might be counterproductive, it seems to dare the Repukes to refuse to extend the debt ceiling, just to screw with her.

(31,849 posts)If the gop does what the gop does ... act with their reflective "you're not the boss of me", they take a beating in 2014, as the electorate has already said, "Enough of this crap."
However, if they act prudently and don't engage this fight, the debt ceiling gets raised ... no muss, no fuss.
