I'm hopeful we can make minor changes to the debt ceiling portion of the CR. That would allow me & other concerned colleagues to vote yes.

@repjustinamash what changes are you hoping for? You guys in Congress already spent the money, sir. You have an obligation to raise ceilingThanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@repjustinamash@ThatsEgregious Point of interest. A debt ceiling default would be as cataclysmic as the Bank failures of 2008/ -
@jhf5@repjustinamash Keeping the debt ceiling where it is does not create default. It means govt has to prioritize spending. -
@ThatsEgregious@repjustinamash like maybe your mom social security check? Bondholders get paid first, grandma later, sound good? -
@jhf5@repjustinamash That's good motivation to avoid dependence on govt: Govt spending is subject to politics -
@ThatsEgregious@repjustinamash Of course, and those who practice bad politics will pay for it, as it should be.

@repjustinamash@ThatsEgregious The debt ceiling is about debt that was ALREADY incurred by Congress. We cannot default on it.#reckless -
@kkaplan@repjustinamash Of course, and that's why debt obligations are prioritized. -
@ThatsEgregious@repjustinamash The treasury pays out as bills come in. There is no "prioritization" permitted absent congressional action -
@kkaplan The House passed such a bill on May 9, the Full Faith and Credit Act, but@repjustinamash voted no http://www.govtrack.us/congress/bills/113/hr807 …
