This seems like it will be a potent topic during the next six months. House Rs seem to be willing to link going along with the debt limit increase, which is just a duty of Congress - good practice that should be a routine, bipartisan vote - to some really unpopular spending cuts. At the same time they rail against better tax enforcement on the truly wealthy as proposed by the democrats to increase revenue.
Senate Rs - McConnell specifically - have told House Rs “you're on your own” on this effort.
Will the radical Rs in the House prevail in making this an issue? Or will cooler heads take over and make this vote the routine vote it should be?
