Yeah, I saw an e-mail about that after I had already posted. Should be good to go, but it does suck for all those non-essential ADOS folks that they have to put on orders retroactively - they said the earliest they'll see their pay is the 18th.

Debt is growing, maintenance on the debt is growing, and the debt started growing with Bush but it's Obama's fault. Inflation exists. More people are on the social safety net than ever before. Your basic costs of doing business are rising, without increasing the services involved. Where does the debt ceiling go down?

Yet he wanted the job Wonder what the statute of limitation on blaming the previous administration for the problems of the current administrations entire run is? I suppose The Carter administration blamed Ford for the fuel crisis too, so par for the course.

Supporters of the Bush II regime were blaming Carter for the crash

And they were right... Started with Carter and made worse as the years went on. You may or may not recall, the Bush administration was trying to plug the leaks in the wall before the whole thing collapsed, and the Dem response was, "there's no problems here."

You can certainly blame the Bush administration for a lot of things, but if you get to the nuts and bolts of it, it wasn't just their doing... not by a long shot.

Starting to see a lot of blame going specifically towards Boehner...

This partisanship garbage is fucking ruining us... yet we live and breathe the shit... It's really scary to go back and look at what people were saying under Bush and how clearly they're tunes have changed - on BOTH sides. it's fucking sports teams...

Oddly enough I don't see those two statements as being at odds. Raising the debt ceiling is a failure of leadership (across the entire government) AND it's irresponsible for America to consider not paying its debts.

The ceiling does eventually have to be raised somewhat, as a matter of simple realism, due to factors like inflation. It's the AMOUNT that's at issue.
