Permalink It's Official: Democrats Succeed In Pushing New Debt Ceiling To $14.3 Trillion

A mere three hours before the Bernanke cloture vote, America just got permission to hit 100% Debt/GDP. Thank Senate Democrats who just approved an amendment increasing the US debt ceiling by $1.9 trillion. The 60/40 vote was across party lines and only successful because Republican Sen.-elect Scott Brown has yet to be seated. Breitbart: Senate permits gov't to borrow an additional $1.9T. AntiWar: Price of US Wars: $1 Trillion and Rising.
