On Tuesday, the Senate passed the two year budget deal previously passed by the House. It now goes to the President for his signature. Financial brinkmanship over? Think again.
Sometime in March, the government will once again need to raise the debt ceiling in order to continue to pay our bills. Representative Paul Ryan (R-Wisconsin) is floating the idea that Republicans should make approval of the Keystone XL pipeline part of any debt ceiling agreement. The President has already said he will not consider any debt ceiling deal that is tied to an unrelated condition.
----> RANDOM THOUGHT: Is there some sort of lobotomy requirement in the Republican oath of office? Do they really not remember the outcome of their last attempt to blackmail the White House into agreeing to their terms?
