It looks like the GOP got everything they wanted.

respectfully, i disagree.
our best chance to survive as a nation, was to NOT raise the cap.
to HOLD THE LINE as Jim Robinson, Rush, and Mark Levine said.

Urgent message to the Tea Party Freshmen and fiscal conservatives: HOLD THE LINE!
July 28, 2011 | Jim Robinson
even the Boehner plan, added 2.4 trillion to the Cap,
and 9 TRILLION more to the deficit.
we cannot afford that. there will be no economy left in 2013. especially after the debt rating goes down, and increases interest payments on our 17.5 trillion debt.
which happens even under the Boehner plan:

Moody’s: Neither debt plan protects the nation’s AAA rating [ Well then Cut cut cut ]
The “limited magnitude” of both debt plans put forward by congressional leaders would not put the nation’s AAA credit rating back on solid footing, Moody’s Investors Service announced Friday.
others have already pointed out, their are ways taxes can be added. (Grover Norquist himself, said repealing the Bush tax cuts, is NOT a tax increase, freeing those who made the no-tax pledge.
dollar for dollar cuts?
it raises the cap by 2.8 TRILLION.
and the National Debt
INCREASES over the next 10 years by 9 TRILLION !!!!!!!!!
this bankrupts the country.
please, look at these two charts, comparing Russia, with their recovery FROM socialism with their flat tax,
and our entry TO socialism, with our Marxist President:

look at the USA chart, which is bad enough.
...then add another 9 TRILLION in debt.
current revenues BALANCE with the 2006 budget.
would it be so hard to simply return to that,
instead of the nightmare of Obama’s spending ?
if the GOP did NOTHING, the OBAMA would have to CUT
spending, to HIS followers. THEY would put pressure on him.
WH spokesman Carney, ADMITTED this.
it would CRUMBLE Obama’s support, and guarantee his defeat.
Instead, we hand Obama everything he needs, and put the USA another 9 TRILLION in debt.
...so we can say “we won, there are no new taxes”...
for now.
‘respectfully, i disagree. our best chance to survive as a nation, was to NOT raise the cap.’
The GOP position was to raise the debt limit. You and I might not like it, but it can’t be considered a defeat of the GOP position.
