What do either of those have to do with Boehner's Bill? He doesn't have control of the Senate or Presidency...that's why there's a need for bipartisanship. And hence why your bringing up red herrings. These are not the same situations, there aren't many here that support that notion that both had to be bipartisan.
I'm just confused on why you think those are analogous situations....
The housing bubble was common knowledge to liberals in 2005, which explains why you clung to your idealogical principles and stubbornly refused the centrist reforms of fannie and freddie proposed by the president in 2004
He tabled two of them. Reid and the Democrats now OWN the default.
The only way it could have worked out better is if it passed then while Obama was signing it and Reid was standing over him, as soon as the pen was put down, someone threw a fucking hand grenade in the room and killed them both.
It's retarded that they think they should get such cuts and give up jackshit. That's like the Dems demanding a Constitutional Amendment for a new top tax bracket with the old 70% marginal tax rate.
Then I forsee major issues as Congress (as a whole) appears to know fuck all about business, just how much cash they can blow through with reckless abandon.
You're comparing MANDATORY legislation which is required for keeping the government functioning and maintaining the nation's credit rating and for keeping nationwide interest rates from spiking to ...... healthcare.
Oh right, 2 Aye votes out of a potential 179 means the other partisan group is totally on board with your plans. Better stress how the bill is bipartisan and bring it up over and over as if those 2 votes are the deal breaker.
next part of the game (which is all this is now) is for reid to send a bill back to the house on monday late so republicans will be forced to either vote it down without any time to send another back to Senate or support it.
House told Harry tonight that they were ready and willing to vote on anything he has tonight but he declined so he could wait for the last final minutes.
Fucking majority of economists were all about how great everything was. Those that predicted the housing crash as well as the current debt issues were called nutjobs, extremists, tinfoil hat, etc.
