   Why would you tack Right to pick up a few Republican votes when you know that it will even more securely damn the bill in the Senate when you COULD tack left to pick up centrist Democratic votes and make a stronger case for the bill to pass the Senate and become law? This is really, really sad to watch. ANYTHING but bipartisanship and compromise is the name of the game with the Republicans. I say, let it happen and put the blame where it belongs – with the Republicans and their refusal to compromise. It is clear as day and getting clearer by the minute. From a political sense it is the greatest gift that the R’s could have given to the D’s this year – thanks very much.

   This is crass political maneuvering; no matter what they send up, it will have been drafted strictly be republicans, having excluded democrat members of the House in totality, so it does not even have bi-partisan support in the House. Those who would hold our economy hostage could care less; frankly, Boehner’s toughest job is that the tea party radicals know that any bill that goes to the Senate will facilitate a compromise, and they do not want a compromise. So why would they change their vote? Ironically, the ultimate solution may be ignoring the radicals on the right, and passing a bi-partisan bill in the House. That is what the american people are saying they want.

   So all this hand wringing boils down to 104 pages of crap about radio spectrum auctions? Are you kidding me? All that to get to the last paragraph?

   SEC. 401. PUBLIC DEBT.

   Subsection (b) of section 3101 of title 31, United
   States Code, is amended by striking the dollar limitation
   contained in that subsection and inserting
   ‘‘$16,994,000,000,000.

   That’s Boner’s Plan? How about we auction something worthwhile, like the Hope Diamond?

   Wow, the IRS gets additional appropriations of billions for “Tax Enforcement” every year through 2021 i.e. “Such new and continuing investments include, but are not limited to, additional resources for implementing new authorities and for conducting additional examinations, audits, and enhanced third party data matching.” I wonder if the “new authorities” is for Obamacare?
