We told you about the emerging deal in the Senate — now, here’s its House counterpart:

Funding the government at sequestration levels until January 15
Raising the debt limit until February 7
Income verification for recipients of subsidies under Obamacare
Delay of the medical device tax for 2 years
A requirement that all members of Congress and members of the cabinet sign up for Obamacare, with no employer contribution
Ending the ability of the treasury to take ‘extraordinary measures‘ to avoid default in the future

1. Yea...

GTFO.

2. Won't pass the Senate.

Idiots.

Let Obama invoke the 14th and let the House Tea baggers deal with impeachment and the impending Tea Party ouster in time for the '14 elections.

3. Won't pass the House. This bill fully funds and implements Obamacare. You think Gohmert&Co

are gonna vote to fully fund Obamacare?

4. "ending the ability of the treasury to take ‘extraordinary measures‘ to avoid default" ????????

Oh, that sounds like a good thing for senate Dems to back.

Poisoned bill.

The tactic is an old one...pass a 'compromise' and then blame the Senate dems for rejecting it.

5. It's ridiculous that the Debt Limit only gets pushed off until Feb 7

...while the medical device tax gets delayed 2 years.

How about the medical device tax gets delayed until Feb 7, and the Debt Limit gets pushed off for 2 years?
