THANK GOD...Several ideas for conditions were put on the table at the Republican meeting, including one that would eliminate a provision in the Affordable Care act that would provide federal help to insurance companies....Members at the meeting asserted that a so-called clean debt bill could not get the support of the Republican conference and they want to press Senate Democrats and the White House to accept some sort of condition. At the same time, there was a recognition that whatever they pushed had to be narrow and not provoke a major fight that might rattle financial markets, especially with congressional midterms on the horizon. The debt ceiling represents a limit on how much the government can borrow to pay its bills....cnn/2014/01/31/politics/debt-ceiling-republicans/index.html?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+rss%2Fcnn_allpolitics+%28RSS%3A+Politics%29
