Skating Close to the Edge, Again, on the Debt Ceiling
There’s less congressional appetite for brinkmanship this time, but the government has only a few weeks’ worth of cash left.
"WASHINGTON
— Ending three years of brinkmanship in which the threat of a
devastating default on the nation’s debt was used to wring conservative
concessions from President Obama, the House on Tuesday voted to raise
the government’s borrowing limit until March 2015, without any
conditions.
The vote
— 221 to 201 — relied almost entirely on Democrats in the
Republican-controlled House to carry the measure and represented the
first debt ceiling increase since 2009 that was not attached to other
legislation. Only 28 Republicans voted yes, and only two Democrats voted
no."

"WASHINGTON
— It was a moment of real drama in a chamber known for its
somnambulism. Senator Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, the Republican
leader, counted votes on his hand, at one point holding up three fingers
as he searched for the remaining votes. Senator John Cornyn of Texas,
his No. 2, paced the Senate floor.
What
happened next would determine whether their party would again be blamed
for triggering a crisis. But when it was clear they had no choice, the
two Republicans, who face primary challenges in the November midterm
elections, stepped forward in tandem on Wednesday to break their party’s
filibuster."
