Make the Democrats pay. Attach the measures I outlined to the debt bill. If the Democrats reject them, they’ll be the ones to put ideology above the good of the country.
Unless you just like to hand Obama the credit card with a no strings attached higher limit.
I would treat ObamaCare separately, as it's too big an issue on its own. But other cuts attached to the bill would be a good idea. I think that's a good strategy. Let them be the ones to reject raising the debt limit to protect their political payoffs.
