Effort to raise debt limit resets after Senate GOP blocks weeks from defaultHouse Democrats are continuing efforts to raise the debt ceiling in order to avoid the U.S. from defaulting on the national debt. Trump & Trumplicans' aim is to sow the seed of doubt in people's minds so that they slowly begin to distrust almost everything & thru the distrust slowly create a state of chaos & confusion to divert the people's attention away from their intention to tear America apart. When Trump & his supporters only listen to the lies they tell themselves & one another & the lies are the ties that bind them then 'hitting bottom' & only then will they open their eyes to the lies they have told themselves & to others. Lies are their cunning baffling addiction. Strip away Trump's Talibanization of America!

What fraction of the country will ever even hear about this vote? If the Senate wasn't so self important, maybe they could get something done or make plans that make sense. Oh Schumer they are shameless, it won't work. They can’t be shamed. It also doesn’t help that the media doesn’t holding McConnell accountable.

Factbox: How could U.S. Senate Democrats raise the debt limit on their own?The U.S. Congress has about two weeks to raise the federal government's $28.4 trillion debt ceiling or cause a historic default that would take a heavy toll on the economy.

Do they think everyone has forgotten?
