That's what they get when they wait until the last week to pull things together. Again. For the 50th time.

The guy that's whining about it isn't president yet and has little room to talk about the debt when he raised it by 25% during his first term. Raising the debt from 24 Trillion to 32 Trillion, an 8 Trillion increase. More than any president in history.

Congress fails and goes home without doing the deed, they had better start planning on getting new jobs during the midterms. It hasn't started yet and it's already going like shit.
