Things have been going well in the negotiations on the debt ceiling so far.  Speaker Boehner is still saying he will not cave on tax increases despite the dire rhetoric of the democrats.  In his desperation, President Obama has now once a again dragged out the democrat scare tactics and is threatening to hold social security, military personnel and others hostage over the debt ceiling just as he did when they were negotiating the 2011 budget.  Senator McConnell has now floated a plan to allow the President to raise the debt ceiling without Congress.  Fortunately, Senator DeMint and other Senate conservatives are opposing this idea.  We know from the debate over the 2011 budget that the GOP leadership has no stomach for fighting Obama and will take the path of least resistance.  Please contact your representatives and senators so that they hear more than just the Obama supporting D.C. media.
