WASHINGTON (AP) - The Democratic-controlled Senate has muscled through a plan to allow the government to go a whopping $1.9 trillion deeper in debt.
The party-line 60-40 vote was successful only because Republican Sen.-elect Scott Brown has yet to be seated. Sixty votes were required to approve the increase. The measure would lift the debt ceiling to $14.3 trillion. That's about $45,000 for every American.

Get as much done before Scott Brown forces Democrats to govern.
OH, you all heard about a spending freeze Obama suggested in his State of the Union address last night, well that doesn't take effect until October, 2010. In fact Obama joked when Republicans laughed, "Well, that's the way budgets work." Obama, more of same old Washington stuff.
