You do not consider the fact that politics is the art of the possible.
It is correct to be for less debt but it is incorrect to lose blood and treasure in an attack up the valley of death by the light cavalry
The point was made twice in recent time. The raw political power required to prevail is lacking. The massed artillery presently controls the valley
It has been done many times before in similar circumstances.

You are correct about this particular battle. However, don’t discount the fact that the GOP is not giving a reason for their base to vote for them. They are not fighting enough to keep the rest of us in the war.
Perhaps the nation is too far gone on the debt cycle, but the day of reckoning is coming and I expect the GOP to honor their platform, tell the American people repeatedly, and pick some battles they can win.
We are in serious trouble and nobody in D.C. seems to consider what will happen beyond the 2 year election cycle.
Is it "power" -- or is it "will" -- that the Republican leadership is lacking?
Of course...because our Generals are P#$$%es who don't like to fight.
We control the House and thus the money. What we don’t have is the Courage to stick to our guns. If we did the President could not beat us....he could stall and shutdown the Government but then its up to the GOP to articulate successfully that he is the one deciding to close government and be fiscally immature.
