Anyone want to give odds, that the Boehner, Cantor, McCarthy brain trust screws this up as usual? THE HILL - House Republicans to tie debt ceiling hike to GOP wish list House Republicans plan to tie an increase in the $16.7 trillion debt ceiling to a broad GOP wish list that includes delaying ObamaCare for a full year. The House Republican list circulating on K Street indicates the GOP also hopes to kick-start tax reform, permit the Keystone XL oil pipeline and trim a slew of federal regulations in exchange for a borrowing boost. The move to the debt ceiling comes as Congress moves toward a possible government shutdown on Oct. 1. Moving to the debt ceiling fight, which Republican leaders have long seen as stronger ground, could be a way to convince rank-and-file Republicans to fight their spending and healthcare battles there rather than on a government funding bill. thehill/blogs/on-the-money/budget/324491-house-set-to-unveil-debt-ceiling-bill
