U.S. Senate fails to advance debt ceiling, government funding measure

60 votes required by Thursday or government shutdown. There's a 0.000000000000000001% chance republicans want something in there to deal with the border and dems put something in for DACA & TPS.

Stop it. The political world doesn’t revolve around DACA. Short-term funding bill incoming.

It doesn’t, but we have a huge vested interest in the issue for obvious reasons

As always, Republicans are the problem. Bunch of obstructionists.

Well the republicans voted no but there's no way the government shuts down for an extended period of time so they voted no for a reason. Is it just to shut down the government for a few days to bash the democrats in the news cycle or do they want something?

Republicans would like the market to crash for few days, so that they and their "friends" can invest heavily. Then they will eventually relent and vote to raise the debt ceiling - and bring home handsome profits.

Market has dropped significantly even today. Invest, invest, invest - before they vote "yes" on debt ceiling - which they eventually will.

Agree on this.
I usually only buy on major dips

Right. Don’t know how much further this will dip but i’ve started slowly loading my bag.

Since Plan B was rejected by the the Parliamentarian, this is the only 60 vote bill that's going to pass probably this year. The next thing to do is to see what the republicans ask for (if anything) to get their votes to raise the debt ceiling.
