Senate Preparing to Vote on the Debt Deal at Noon

Senate is preparing to vote on a bill, having said so much about it, the deal is bounded to be passed and I do not think that failure is an option at this point, so just interesting to see how each side going to vote.


Update: Senate ha successfully approved the deal(72-26), which moves the bill to the White House, where Obama will need to sign it.

  1. This is interesting but I'm not understanding what the potential outcome of this bill is. I googled after I first read your post but I can't find any information. Could you clarify what this bill is for?

  6. The bill is to raise the debt ceiling. Basically "the agreement calls for up to $2.4 trillion in savings over the next decade, raises the debt ceiling through the end of 2012 and establishes a special congressional committee to recommend long-term fiscal reforms."

  7. Raising the debt ceiling is absolute idiocy. It doesn't help anything.
