Congress facing shutdown, debt crisis with no plan B

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Congress is charging toward a government shutdown and debt default and appears to have no backup plan roughly a week before federal agencies would have to shutter their doors.

The Senate will vote as soon as Monday on a House-passed bill that would fund the government into early December and suspend the debt ceiling through 2022. But Republicans will block that bill from getting the 10 votes needed to break a filibuster because of the debt ceiling hike, and GOP senators stress that they aren't bluffing.

What comes next? Lawmakers aren't totally sure.

"I don't know what the plan B is. ... Plan B is to have Republicans step up and be responsible," said Sen. Debbie Stabenow (D-Mich.), member of party leadership.

2. Plan B is to have Republicans step up and be responsible!

If it hurts workers and our economy then maybe, jus maybe the GOP sheep will stop supporting these dumbasses. Nothing has work so far - they seem to be getting crazier by the day.

6. If that's plan B, then we better hope that Plan A works.

There are no good republicans. They are all conmen, grifters, saboteurs and seditionists.

3. Appearances can be deceiving.

5. Our not knowing what they're planning doesn't mean there's no plan

7. All because hypocrite McConnell doesn't want to

be called responsible for the past debt (what the debt ceiling pays for) that the Repubs inflated.
