Boehner needs to get his freshmen in line and pass a $1.5 trillion in cuts for $1.5 trillion in debt ceiling increase. It sucks, I know, but it is the only way to put 0bama on the spot and make him feel and look like the loser. He’ll have to ask for more money right before the election. In the meantime, the House Republicans can pass bills over and over to cut spending between now and then.

—Yep, I’m with you.
And the *only* way I’d be willing to consider a $2.4T hike in exchange for $1.5 T in cuts in a one-shot deal is if there was something substantial thrown in there that is satisfactory to us. Otherwise, what’s the point in forfeiting nearly Trillion dollars in bargaining power for nothing?
You have no idea what you’re talking about.
We have to hold firm on the debt ceiling, and cut whatever it takes to maintain it.
We cannot allow Obama to extract his vote buying money out of the US Treasury, and that is exactly what this is all about.
The GOP leadership is against us just as much as the Dems.
We have to pound the individual congress members of both houses every minute of every day.
