The Democrats are going to tack a huge increase to the debt ceiling onto a defense bill to make it hard to vote against. Raising it from $13 trillion to almost $15 trillion according to this. They have to crank it way up now to avoid an unpopular additional debt ceiling vote near election time.
From the 2006 Congressional Record
Heh. $8.6 trillion.
