House Republicans Eyeing New Hostage Opportunity

The hallmark of Onion news reporting is conveying insanity as if it were sane in a completely deadpan way. The news contained within the story is that the House GOP is thinking of tying the next increase in the debt ceiling to tax reform. Under this proposed strategy, the Post reports, "The debt limit might be raised for only a few months, with the promise of another increase when tax reform legislation passes the Senate."
