Democrats push to raise debt ceiling, but face block from Republicans

Congressional Democrats are pushing to raise the national debt ceiling before the government funding runs out at the end of the month. But Republicans say they will not support stopgap funding legislation. CBS News congressional correspondent Nikole Killion joins CBSN with the latest.

It's fun to watch Debt Ceiling Theater. Of course we always know how the show always ends.

[lwhitaker]

Hmmm...debt?.... not too worried about the 60 BILLION a year spent on people gambling....but fixing infrastructure....they are all over limiting that.

[eileennovak]

How dare they give Israel a *BILLION DOLLARS* when they provide *health care* to their citizens and we don't? Makes no sense. We need health care. Israel needs to America a billion dollars so we can take care of our people too.

[generaluriah]

Republicans resist....Crash and Burns Mentality.

[hungcarruth]

Politics aside, let's build an America with good infrastructure together

[d-buck]

I'm going to just raise my debt ceiling.

[oldandtiredshouldberetired]

Y'all can't print more? Oh dear, there went that plan.

[heathharve]

Much to do about nothing Congress must raise the debt limit and that the law period. So all the reports and news shows host just all talk.

Jesus Christ died for sinners including you, on the cross with his own blood for your personal sins, repent and get saved or perish with the lost wicked world. God's word is coming to pass, it will only go downhill..

[rjtheripper]

When are Republicans going to stop defense spending and corporate bailouts.

[spitrock]

GOP please, Mitch don't do anything good for the country.

[dalekohl]

IF THE DEMS WOULD STOP SPENDING MONEY WE DON’T HAVE WE WOULDN’T NEED TO RAISE THE DEBT CEILING!

RAISING THE DEBT CEILING THE GOVERNMENT CAN SPEND MORE! AS THE GOVERNMENT SPENDS MORE THEY NEED TO PAY FOR IT!

YOU GUESS WHO PAYS FOR IT? IT’S EITHER THIS OR THEY ATTACK YOUR PENSIONS!

[danielmorales]

[PHXPlanespotter]

I know, let's spend more money and print more money...and drive inflation through the roof!!!

[wrxfan]

Let them run out of money learn their lesson this is so stupid with inflation

[drtyjerz]

5:55 seconds of saying absolutely nothing. Well a can happen but could be replaced by B but we have to see what ends up happening or something bad can happen, unless one of the plans goes through then something good can come of it *nervous chuckle*
What a waste

[Quijanos]

Pul-leaze... I bet a dollar the trepublicans are totally going to raise the the debt limit.
