House Passes Boehner Debt Ceiling Bill; Senate Tables It

As expected the GOP House leadership managed to whip up the bare minimum to pass their debt ceiling bill. Every House Democrat voted against the bill (presumably because the debt ceiling will have to be voted on at least once before the 2012 elections, a no-win vote for the Dems).

It may seem depressing that only 22 House Republicans voted to stop the insanity of borrowing trillions more and piling on more debt, but on similar past votes Ron Paul has been the lone dissenting vote. Nice to see he now has two dozen or so Republicans who also believe in fiscal responsibility. 

Here are the 22 House Republicans who showed true courage and responsibly voted against piling on more red ink to the U.S'. $14 trillion dollar debt:
