ROUNDTABLE


"[John Boehner’s] plan is tantamount to a form of “class warfare.” If
enacted, it could well produce the greatest increase in poverty and
hardship produced by any law in modern U.S. history."

-- Robert Greenstein
Center on Budget and Policy Priorities

"What Harry Reid did yesterday was essentially call the GOP’s bluff by
outlining a plan that raises the debt ceiling by $2.7 trillion and
includes $2.7 trillion in spending cuts… Republicans are rejecting
this even though it nominally meets their demands."

-- Matt Yglesias
ThinkProgress

"This isn’t about poor bargaining or fecklessness by the Democrats.
It’s about dealing with the consequences of the fact that Americans
elected to Congress a whole bunch of people who are either trying to
impose fringe policy views despite apparently having no understanding
whatsoever of their consequences — or are so driven by opposition to
the president that their highest priority is opposing him, regardless
of those consequences."

-- Jonathan Bernstein
Washington Post

FROM THE RIGHT

"House Republicans could hold the line. They’ve compromised enough.
Why not fight instead? Fight for cut, cap, and balance. It’s the only
plan to avoid a credit downgrade."

-- Erick Erickson
RedState
