It is the usual churning trying to create a big deal about the debt limit vote instead of letting the people who will actually be sworn in in January get sworn in and start working on the debt issue overall. They say Rand 'opposes raising the debt limit' which isn't what he said. He said he would probably vote against it but that it would probably pass anyhow, that no one wants to shut down government, and that what should be done is a budget plan should be put into place.
However, WSJ is once again trying to manipulate what he says. That, or they really ARE that bad as reporters.
Although, this is an interesting quote:
Former Sen. Alan Simpson (R., Wyo.), who co-chairs the presidential deficit commission, predicted the fight to raise the debt limit would be brutal. "There will be hair and eyeballs all over the floor," he said.
