Only a politician concerned only with...

...keeping his own power intact and no concern at all for the nation or it people would possibly think this was a good idea.

The plan includes a proposal offered by McConnell in the 2011 debt ceiling crisis that allows Congress to disapprove of the debt ceiling increase, which means lawmakers will formally vote on whether to reject a debt ceiling increase until Feb. 7. Obama can veto that legislation if it passes. If Congress fails as expected to gather a two-thirds majority to override the veto, the debt ceiling would be raised.

That's one less check on El Presidente Obama's power. I think there is a circle of Hell just for traitors like Mitch McConnell, John Boehner and all those worthless gits that voted yea.
