BRAC update and Moran’s mind-boggling bill

A two part post today:

First, the deadline for BRAC disaster is on September 15th, but due to Moran’s attempt to clean up and gain politically from the mess he facilitated, you won’t notice an immediate change. The AP reports 2,500 workers moved into the Mark Center last month, and the remaining 3,900 will move in gradually over the next year. So it’s a slow death on 395, so to speak, and you’ll know who to thank for it.

This week, Moran did something completely mind-boggling: He introduced a bill to abolish the debt ceiling, saying the debt ceiling is “an unnecessary law increasingly used as an impediment to Congress’s ability to further economic recovery.” Translation – the debt ceiling forces Congress to get serious about reducing the debt and impedes its ability to carelessly spend trillions of dollars we don’t have, so get rid of it! This is the definition of irresponsibility. But it’s not a big surprise coming from him – instead, it’s further reason to retire Jim Moran.
