Dems to lift debt ceiling by $1.8 trillion, fear 2010 backlash - - POLITICO.com

Good Lord....and they think we are soooooooooooooooo stupid we won't remember this in the 2010 election cycle....the great stupid un-washed.....

Dems to lift debt ceiling by $1.8 trillion, fear 2010 backlash - - POLITICO.com:

In a bold but risky year-end strategy, Democrats are preparing to raise the federal debt ceiling by as much as $1.8 trillion before New Year’s rather than have to face the issue again prior to the 2010 elections.

“We’ve incurred this debt. We have to pay our bills,” House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer told POLITICO Wednesday. And the Maryland Democrat confirmed that the anticipated increase could be as high as $1.8 trillion — nearly twice what had been assumed in last spring’s budget resolution for the 2010 fiscal year."
