Mitch McConnell: Hey! Let’s raise the debt limit!

"Conservative" Government in Action

• This is why I call myself a RINO.  The big government loving "Conservative" GOP has moved so far to the Left they have effectively morphed into the most radical of FDR New Dealers.

(Washington Times)  -  Republicans will raise the government’s borrowing limit without threatening a default, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell guaranteed Sunday, placating the markets but potentially surrendering the party’s leverage as Congress gears up for another debt showdown.
