The Daily Quote
“Speaker John Boehner is facing growing pressure to start work this week on a bill to increase the federal borrowing limit as the debt ceiling deadline fast approaches amid the continuing uncertainty over who will succeed the Ohio Republican at the end of the month. The Treasury Department estimates that the debt limit will need to be raised by Nov. 3 in order to avoid a default that could rock financial markets and the economy… The chaos surrounding who will succeed Boehner, who announced last month he was leaving Congress, has left Republicans with no clear plan for increasing the debt limit even though the once routine issue has become a critical fiscal battle in recent years. Conservatives have repeatedly threatened to block the must-pass legislation in order to force deep spending cuts. But with the deadline looming, there is now intense political pressure from Democrats and many Republicans to increase the borrowing limit quickly to quiet fears on Wall Street and abroad that the United States could default.” - Washington Post, 10/19/2015
