this saying they were going to get together. when i was asking democrats, what about governing for democrats? doesn't that raise questions about governing? that was my point. and so, now, republicans are saying, eh, maybe, the ones who were going to support it are saying maybe we won't now. so like i said, the question is what happens now? and in the middle of all of this, the debt ceiling still looming. i mean, this is where the urgency should be, as well. maybe, the number-one priority until this is done. and then, focus on the other parts of the agenda. but a house passed bill is scheduled for a vote next week in the senate where mitch mcconnell has vowed there will be no republican help on the debt. and that means there is a very real danger that the united states could default if congress doesn't take action before october 18th. it's all just a cynical political game really. republicans are determined to force democrats to go it alone.
