The Senate voted on Tuesday to approve a deal to raise the nation’s borrowing limit, voting 74-26 for a bill that would cut government spending by trillions and effectively raise the debt ceiling through the end of 2012. The bill will now be sent to President Obama, who is expected to sign it immediately.
Get ready to eat your satan sandwich, America.
GODDAMMIT.
I know that the country will probably be worse off if Obama doesn’t sign, but he should not be giving the stamp of approval to anything that doesn’t close tax loopholes or eliminate tax cuts for the rich.
Democrats, I am disappoint.
Perhaps The Stranger could provide some numbers to demonstrate their issues with this bill in lieu of providing links to other journalists, e.g. Paul Krugman.
