But it sounds like the House Dems are starting to fight back, that's good.

It's time they show their obstructionist behavior out in the open.

Wow..just..wow. It's as if the Republicans really do want to destroy the world's economy...

http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2011/04/10/ftn/main20052567.shtml

Even if the Tea Party's 2011 budget had been passed and Ryan's 2012 budget passes, the debt limit will have to be raised. Even the Tea Party has no plan to immediately balance the budget. I'm tired of social bull getting tacked on to important budgetary legislation.

Waiting for Nate to wet himself over dems not wanting to raise the debt ceiling.

Quote
A growing number of Democrats are threatening to defy the White House over the national debt, joining Republican calls for deficit cuts as a requirement for consenting to lift the country’s borrowing limit.

The tension is the latest illustration of how the tea-party-infused GOP is driving the debate in Washington over federal spending. And it shows how the debt issue is testing the Obama administration’s clout as Democrats, particularly those from politically competitive states, resist White House arguments against setting conditions on legislation to raise the debt ceiling.

The push-back has come in recent days from Sens. Kent Conrad (D-N.D.), chairman of the Senate Budget Committee, and Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.), a freshman who is running for reelection next year. Sen. Mark Pryor (D-Ark.) told constituents during the Easter recess that he would not vote to lift the debt limit without a “real and meaningful commitment to debt reduction.”

These dems are thinking about doing what Obama and Reid did very recently.
