Democratic officials are cautiously optimistic that the outlines of a potential compromise – a “Plan C” – are emerging that could bridge the differences between plans pushed by House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev.

There is no Reid Plan and if there were it would not get out of the Senate, let's get that point straight up front. The only thing to be bridged is the amount of the debt limit increase. Boehner's bill raises the debt Limit about $1 trillion which give about 6 months of borrowing authority Reid wants at least 18 months which would require about $3 trillion more in debt limit increase.

So where will the money for plan "C" come from? Why tax increases or cuts to entitlements of course. Now what chance would that have in the Senate or the House?

This is why the only option is to bring back CCB.

But to have a plan "C" Boehner's bill has to pass so maybe the House RATs better let it be known that they would vote for his bill.

It is becoming a plan as to how to defeat or protect the President. These old time players no longer care about America.
