Debt Ceiling BIll passes in the Senate

The bill passed 74-26.

No graphic on this post. The arguments have provided the sad graphics.

This process was long, wrong and drawn out for purely political reasons, and the American people are the sad beneficiaries of the lack of compromise that took so long to deal with the people's business.

Even now, as I type this, Michael Steele, former head of RNC says the President needs to "lead by laying out his priorities for Congress" after the President just went into detail about what he wants to focus on - JOBS. Steele needed to get his spin out there, even after the President did exactly what he was asking for.

Lord.

Please Washington - get to work and get things done for the better of the country. Find COMMON GROUND. Not far right or far left positions that are not what the country is looking for.
