As a Democrat I Feel that Obama should Sign the Boehner Plan (compared, economy)

I hope the non-revolutionary Republicans who are still patriots join common cause with their fellow patriots and work to stop the Bags in the aftermath of all of this.

I think the markets and scummy rating agencies would hate to see a short term deal of only 6mths.

If Boehner's bill doesn't get out of the House, those Republicans will have to team up with Democrats to raise the debt ceiling. I never thought that this issue would tear apart the GOP, but it is looking like it may.

It's not worth causing a disaster.

What disaster? A forced balanced budget once the debt ceiling cannot be raised? How is a balanced budget a disaster?

That is why many see the markets already facotring in a likely downgrade i rates.Most thing that withotu 4 trillion over ten eyars is lile y sooner or later. Nither paln does much to assure the markets that we will get control especailly witha estimate 8% incrrease in governamnt spending on healthcare come 2014.That is a huge amount of money.

They do, but the alternative to no deal is far worse.

Not everyone, the Senate Dems said they won't pass the Boehner bill. So much for compromise!

Absolutely not.

Go for everything.

Hold the President hostage.

Force him to once again abuse the Constitution.

Elections have consequences.

While the U.S. has a long-term debt problem, it has no immediate debt problem. Our debt is lower compared to our economy, than Japan, England, and Germany is to their economies. The U.S. must lower debt, but not when millions Americans are jobless. Economists tell us that doing so will worsen joblessness. My main concern is getting Americans back to work and getting Americans back to work will solve the debt issue.

I have come to the conclusion that the tea party must be stopped and destroyed no matter what means must be used. We need a government agency to do what ever it takes to destroy all of them. They are more dangerous than iran. WAKE UP!
