Boehner To Ask House GOP For Short-Term Debt Ceiling Increase (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/huff-wires/20131010/us--budget-battle-boehner/)
GOP aides say House Speaker John Boehner will ask House Republicans to approve a short-term extension of the government's ability to borrow to meet its bills.

The Ohio Republican is slated to urge his staunchly conservative GOP colleagues to act before the government runs out of borrowing authority next week.


Republicans have been insistent that budget cuts and other measures be added to the so-called debt ceiling legislation but the aides wouldn't say whether he'll seek to add other material to the measure.


The aides required anonymity to reveal the information before Boehner makes an announcement after a closed-door meeting with his GOP colleagues.

Anyone voting to raise the debt limit even a dollar is not conservative or republican and needs voted out.

I'm curious as to what your idea of a Republican is?

"If we want to move this along and continue to negotiate, I've always been in favor of a clean CR for a week or a clean debt ceiling for a week or two," Paul, R-Ky., said Wednesday on Fox News Channel's "Your World with Neil Cavuto (http://www.foxnews.com/on-air/your-world-cavuto/index.html)."

And anyone who still thinks partisan politics means anything hasn't been paying attention.

Raising the debt limit is fiscally irresponsible. This is not at all a conservative direction to go. We need to cut spending, continue paying the already astoundingly high debt, and not extend the government credit card to allow new spending.

What about SS and Medicare? Spending on these programs is projected to increase 70% over the next 10 years.

They need to start allowing people to opt out, keep their own money, and take responsibility for themselves.

Also with more money in our pockets donations to charities will be able to up to be the safety net for those truly in need.

Before SS and medicare there were tons of church, and charitable group's that helped those down and out.

I would opt out in a second.

They need to start allowing people to opt out, keep their own money, and take responsibility for themselves.That's a good idea, if you're young. But what about people nearing retirement age?

Politically, it'll be impossible to cut their benefits, which means spending will have to increase, and debt-ceiling will have to be raised.

What about them? I didn't promis to deposit 16% of my income to pay someone else. At some point we are going to need to make cuts. The sooner the better.

What about them. They pooled there money into a system. They should get they're return on investment. Whatever that might be for government work.

How old are you, buddy? Do you know any old people, including Tea Party supporters? Tell them you intend to gut their SS and Medicare, and then ask them if they're going to vote for you.

You will get important lesson in life.

The lesson being that if a majority is allowed to tyrannize, then old people will steal life from young people in order to prolong their old lives a few additional years or months. But if young people stand up for their natural rights, old people are going to learn one way or another to stop stealing.

Is it possible for the government to borrow a really, really, LARGE sum of money during a "short-term debt ceiling increase?" Or do they raise it to just enough to fund government through the extension period?

I think they've always raised the debt ceiling by a specified amount, with no time table attached, EXCEPT for the last time they hit the ceiling about 6 months ago. That last time they just suspended the debt ceiling, with no limit on spending, and reset the limit after a specified period of time. So if they do that again they could theoretically do what you are talking about. The sky's the limit. I'm afraid if they do that again (suspend the debt ceiling for a certain period of time), it could become the new normal.
