“Outgoing Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) on Tuesday wouldn’t rule out a vote to raise the nation’s borrowing limit before he quits Congress at the end of October.”  Boehner Open to Raising Debt Limit, Scott Wong, The Hill, Sept. 29, 2015.

Of Course, of course.  This goes without saying.  It also fits with the first of those Boehner “accomplishments” I listed the other day.

“It’s just a matter of if there is a way to get some things done so I don’t burden my successor, I’m gonna get it done,” added Boehner…  In the days of old – until maybe ten years ago – the GOP would rant and rave about limiting the debt – even paying it down or off somehow. They would always, always raise the limit in the end but not without a little conservative theater for the masses.  Now they just raise it and on a regular basis.  Can’t be a burden to our successor now can we?  To hell with the burden on the people.

Just how high will they raise the debt?  $19 Trillion?  $20 Trillion?  My thought is they may as well shoot for the moon.  Make it $100 Trillion or more.  That would at least spare us this nonsense for at least a few years.

Any peep about this from the phony psychos currently seeking the Presidency? Probably not.  Maybe Bernie wants free debt for everyone.  Hey, he could actually deliver on that!
