Senate Republians vote to increase debt by $9 trillion

The current national debt is $20 trillion, we've heard this over and over how it's all Obama's fault from guys like Robbie & the usual consevabro crew.. Republicans just voted to raise the national debt to $29 trillion over the next 10 years..

They claim it's just numbers... 1 sole Republican voted against it (Rand Paul) the rest rubber stamped it no questions asked..

Conservatives who oppose U.S. debt vote to raise it as a step toward repeal of Affordable Care Act | The Sacramento Bee

Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., was the lone Republican to oppose considering the repeal bill when the Senate voted 51-48 to proceed Wednesday. “Because we’re in a hurry, we can’t be bothered,” he said sarcastically. “It’s just numbers, I was told again and again ... and yet the legislation says it is a budget.”

He asked, “Why don’t we put a vision into the budget that represents what Republicans say they are for?”



In before it's all Obama's fault, Democrats are to blame.. [insert wingbot excuse here] Very odd they have to raise the national debt by $9 trillion to cut a govt program.. Seems like Ronald Reagan fuzzy math is at play..
