Dana Bash says Republicans in the House hope a short term

[applegrove]

increase in the debt ceiling, which would allow congress 4 to 6 weeks to discuss issues, may work. CNN

[Cali_Democrat]

1. So we'll just be back at the same place in 6 weeks

Obama should demand an increase until Jan 2015...after the 2014 mid terms.

[yourout]

4. +1......otherwise they will just keep going back to the well and things will be worse than they....

are now.

If they want to play this game then it will suck in the short term but I would rather get it over now and let the world see just how bad electing stupid assholes can be.

[enough]

2. No. No. No. (nt)

[Mr.Bill]

5. No, No, No,...

Agree. The rat is cornered. Don't give it any cheese.

[Proud Liberal Dem]

3. and then we get to do this all over again ad infinitum

the Repubs will just keep moving goal posts so much that you won't be able to find them with a map. By the way, if some of them don't think that not raising the debt ceiling is no big deal, what leverage do they think they have here, exactly?

[SoutherDem]

6. Meet the new boss, same as the old boss

in other words kick that can down the road again, each time we give up more than the Republicans. Keep doing that enough they will have everything they want.

[donco]

7. Another friggen

punt eh?

[Lifelong Dem]

8. We have them on the run from a default

Now it's time to take this to the long term. Screw the short term.

9. I wish this would get solved now. I wish the Republicans would

be forced to back down.
