Exactly. If the GOP intends to do business as usual, it makes people wonder what they voted for in November. If we’re going to raise the debt limit, attach the repeal of Obamacare and reducing spending to it. Then force the Democrats to choose between downsizing government or voting for it to default on its fiscal obligations.
I’d be surprised if the Stupid Party stops caving into the Democrats.
Why not go for broke? Attach to it the repeal of every piece of welfare, education, social spending along with 0bamacare. Might as well load up the deal with as many negotiating points on our side as possible to ensure that at least some make it through.
