Decorum prevents me from responding to Republicans who will refuse to protect the full faith and credit of the United States by refusing to vote for expanding the debt limit. The increase in debt we have already incurred as largely a result of the tax cuts passed repeatedly by Republicans without Democratic support. But now that we are making investments in the American people instead of simply cutting revenues to provide tax breaks to the wealthy, they have decided to be... well... bad people. Well, my feeling is f*** them. Democrats don't even bother asking for their permission or support, just pass it with reconciliation. And while your at it... Please end the damn filibuster. There is no need to continue to pretend there are any in the Republican party actually interested in governing responsibly.

Bruce, '...f***...', what? I couldn't help myself. Your comment was easy to understand and agree with, but I couldn't resist playing with your 'decorum' under the circumstances.

F... Republicans who won't support raising the debt ceiling. Just do it with Reconciliation or better yet, end the filibuster. I am over trying to work with people who refuse to govern responsibly. No more Mr. Nice guy here. F… them.
