Bohner worked all week to pass a bill that raised the debt ceiling.  He got it passed last night and the Senate tabled it, meaning it will never even be debated, much less voted on.  Reid and McConnell told him that would happen, and rather than do the right thing he tried to make a political point. 

Now, its unlikely that a bill can make it through both chambers, 3 committees and be signed by Mr. OBama before the deadline passes. 

Oh well, America was a good country while it lasted, but had to come to an end sometime.

The House Saturday easily rejected Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid's debt limit plan, the latest in an ongoing series of purely political votes both chambers have taken.

The 246-173 defeat, with 11 Democrats voting against the Nevada Democrat's bill — which included most of Minority Leader Mitch McConnell's (Ky.) Plan B proposal — was not unexpected.

Both chambers have taken symbolic votes defeating the other's proposal, although in this case the House actually voted to defeat the bill before the Senate had even taken it up.
