I just thought it would help to have the latest state of legislative maneuvering in front of us to consider.

I think it does matter. I'm not sure why you're so fired up to brush off this post. The interest to me is that Reid offered to pass an extension of the debt limit until Wednesday, but McConnell refused. That sets us up for another debt limit showdown this Friday. I agree that it's disgusting, but certainly worth putting up in this forum for discussion and consideration. There are a lot of issues surrounding this legislation and the items the republicans decided to include.

I don't think issues like this should be brushed off with cynicism. I hate the way some threads are dismissed with a word and a wave.
