As debt-limit negotiations consume Capitol Hill, Sen. Jim DeMint (R., S.C.) urges Republicans to be cautious. “The president is a magician,” he says in an interview with National Review Online. “He has been using sleight of hand. This is not time for Republicans to find compromise, we have to figure out how to stop him.”

Q. How do you raise the debt ceiling without cutting spending MORE than you raise the debt ceiling without new taxes?
A. You can’t.
