Reply #7: 1. Reid's plan does not touch entitlements 2. REALITY: Republican House will never pass Tax Increas [View All]

Those people are not rational, and they are more than willing to default.

I get the idea that Boehner has tried to educate them on the consequences of defaulting, per some stories I have read. I also believe Boehner may have been trying to "finesse" them into giving some revenue increase (this is me reading between the lines.)

The teabaggers are so out of touch with reality.

The ONLY way we are ever going to get increased taxes on the wealthy is if we control the House and have a solid majority in the Senate. THIS IS THE MAJOR THING WE MUST ACCOMPLISH IN 2012.

Pelosi's House would have passed a clean bill to raise the debt ceiling in a heartbeat.

We are only having this conversation because of the Republican controlled house.
