8. Republican's should be the only ones suggesting raising the cap.

This will be viewed as a tax increase and if we support it we will be again viewed as the "tax and spend Liberals". This is what the Republicans want us to do, so they don't have to shoulder the responsibility and possible backlash from this decision. I do agree, we need some ideas of our own. I believe the Senate has sent a letter to Bush laying out several possible negotiating points.
