Well, yeah FEMA Funding and Hurricane Relief Funding was probably the main drive to get this deal done but I am loving hearing how the GOP is responding to this- in anger because Trump is going to raise the debt ceiling.
Just more grandstanding, a'la ACA. There is no other option, at this point, and they would do the same thing. They have to make a show for the base though

There was absolutely no way that their supporters would allow them to short changed Texas.

Nope. Don't need no gubment until we need gubment.

Not much to worry about for you, since you will perpetually be in needs of gubment.

Groundhog Day for you, Ned Ryerson.

Well, if you have first Harvey and now Irma and then the government response would be... a shutdown of the government for a while, that likely wouldn't be in the best interest of Trump.

Anyway, Trump should take the initiative just like here. The most stupid thing ever that a sitting President can do is just to assume that Congress will get things done and wait for it to happen looking from the sidelines (perhaps sending few angry tweets about it).

Yes that would be stupid. If it ever happened IRL.

My advice would be to get over Trump's tweets.

Debt Tops $20 Trillion for First Time; Jumps $317,645,000,000 in 1 Day
https://www.cnsnews.com/news/article/te ... 0000-1-day

(CNSNews.com) - The federal debt officially surpassed $20 trillion for the first time on Friday, as the debt subject to the legal limit set by Congress jumped $317,645,000,000 in one day--following President Donald Trump's signing of a spending-and-debt-limit deal that will fund the government through Dec. 8.

At the close of business on Thursday, Sept. 7, according to the Daily Treasury Statement for Friday, the total debt of the federal government was $19,844,587,000,000 and the portion of it subject to the legal limit set by Congress was $19,808,747,000. After President Trump signed the legislation suspending the debt limit, the total debt immediately jumped to $20,162,177,000,000 and the portion of it subject to the limit jumped to $20,126,392,000,000, according to the Daily Treasury Statement for Sept. 8, 2017.

That means the total debt jumped $317,590,000,000 on the day it officially topped $20 trillion for the first time and that the part of the debt subject to the legal limit jumped $317,645,000,000 on that day.

do these numbers even mean anything

That rap reminded of this

trying to make keynesianism versus traditional econ theory accessible to the kids, likely never watched by anyone who didn't already know the score

redeeming feature of the video is Keynes' general theory is in the hotel nightstand a la the bible

Another good one.
