The default is easily avoided. As has been the case in the past, Republicans are the ones pushing us towards it.

A date would help. What day are these votes scheduled?BabyBoobs
Per Axios:
“Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) on Monday placed both a clean debt ceiling increase and the House GOP's bill to raise the debt ceiling and slash spending on the Senate calendar.”
Hope that ^ helps.

I’d prefer a date. It was nice of 1184 to help you out but still don’t know what day to expect a vote. Schumer needs to find 60 votes pretty quickly.Just . Take. The. L.

There can be no increase in the debt ceiling without it clearing both chambers and going to the president for signature. The House has done their job and now it’s time for the Senate to do the same. Schumer has a big job ahead of him.BabyBoobs thinks Schumer has to pass the Debt Ceiling increase to accomplish his goal.
Just. Take. The. L.

The Senate will pass a clean increase and send it to the House
BabyBoobs is starting to figure it out.
Weaker mccarthy passed a DOA bill out of the House to achieve a political “goal”.- Not with the expectation of it going any further.
Senate Majority Leader Schumer will bring a CLEAN DEBT LIMIT INCREASE to the floor of the Senate for a vote to achieve a political “goal” - Not with the expectation of it passing.
Hope that ^ helps.

The House has passed a debt ceiling bill. The Senate has not. And you’re predicting that when they try, they will fail. Good chance your prediction will come true.BabyBoobs is starting to figure it out.

Yep, I’m good at predicting when it comes to politics; unlike BabyBoobs.
And I predict that “republicans” will be blamed if the country defaults, thanks to President Biden’s and Senate Majority Leader Schumer’s accurate framing of the issue.

I like how you’re going out on a limb by predicting that you’ll blame Republicans if the Democrat-controlled Senate fails to pass a debt ceiling bill.•

Every time I see a political thread on this site I roll my fucking eyes! Nothing about politics is arousing. Turn off the news and read some lit!

I wonder how long it took Susan Rice to perfect Sleepy Joe’s signature. I wonder who‘s in line to take over that duty. The Chuckster will set up a vote and Sleepy will still be searching for his aviator glasses.

An utterly unworkable one, and they know it. McCarthy's only real goal was fooling the likes of you.

McCarthy’s goal was to bring Democrats to the table by passing a bill that increases the debt ceiling with spending constraints. There were legitimate doubts about whether or not he would succeed but he got the win. After months of stonewalling, Biden suddenly called a meeting with McCarthy, McConnell, and their Democratic leadership colleagues. Go figure.
Like all pieces of legislation, the House bill will have to be reconciled in conference with whatever comes out of the Senate. Both sides will have to agree to compromises. But first, Schumer needs 59 or 60 votes to pass a debt ceiling bill.

He got it via reps who knew the chances of that bill actually ending up being signed were nil.
Besides, this is exactly the sort of thing where when the Democrats do it, the likes of you say it's Pelosi ruling her delegation with an iron fist. When McCarthy does it, it's remarkable Republican unity, isn't it?

Take another L BabyBoobs.
Weaker mccarthy could barely get elected and barely managed to pass a turd of a (budget?) bill out of the House LESS THAN A WEEK AGO.
Take another L BabyBoobs.
BabyBoobs You’re actually being far too kind and generous by saying BabyBoobs is being fooled.
BabyBoobs is being willfully ignorant / complicit in the “republican” gaslighting related to the debt ceiling and the budget.
SAD!!!
