It was a moment of real drama in a chamber known for its somnambulism. Senator Mitch McConnell, the Republican leader, counted votes on his hand, at one point holding up three fingers as he searched for the remaining votes. Senator John Cornyn of Texas, his No. 2, paced the Senate floor. finally, twelve Republicans in all, joined the Democrat and passed the bill for the debt ceiling.
The Republican didn't want to show clear enthusiasm about it, but without them it wouldn't pass.
The US debt today is 16 Trillion Dollars. During President Clinton, the debt of 7 Trillion dollars was eliminated and the US budget had a surplus.
Would Hillary be the next "Clinton" President to eliminate the debt? ....possible.
Just a thought
