[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m a Dem and believe this lays at the feet of Democrats. [b]At anytime they could abolish the filibuster and do this themselves.[/b] And while they’re at it, get rid of this stupid debt ceiling limit.

But they continue to point to GOP. I’m not sure if Dem leadership is naive or is trying to score points. For the former, when was the last time GOP governed responsibly? If the latter, they’re fools because it will persuade NO ONE.

This is so maddening. [/quote]

This is false because Joe Manchin will not vote to abolish it.  It's not "Democrats" it's a single Democrat.  [/quote]
Pp here. I know this and it’s Sinema too. But Dem leadership knew this was coming and should have known GOP would behave this way and they needed to have planned for that. [/quote]

Democrats probably thought that GOP would act with good faith and would not hamstring the country. They probably though senator like Romney, Murkowski and Collins etc would behave slightly normal. They are the one who voted for the 9T tax cut and would be adult enough to be willing to pay for the debt they have agreed to incur. Unfortunately they do not. The whole GOP is a criminal enterprise.

Now Democrats have two path

1. Waste one reconciliation opportunity for raising debt ceiling (possible that they may not have time for this and apparently it is riddled with problems and uncertainties)

2. Abolish filibuster for raising debt ceiling; this one what they are probably considering [/quote]
