Democrat Leader Harry Reid will have to find 60 votes to increase the debt limit. There are 53 Democrats in the Senate today but at least 8 of them know that voting with Reid will guarantee their defeat in the 2012 elections. That means Reid will have to find up to 15 Republicans to raise the debt limit.
Can he do it? Not if you stop him.

Shut down this stink’n government for a year. Hey dems, the world might start loving us again if you do . . and after all that’s what’s really important isn’t it?

No piece of paper can make congress do what it doesn’t want to do. Who’s going to make them, the Supreme Court?
It’s more likely to get congress to declare war to avoid balancing the budget rather than actually balance the budget.

I could have sworn that “balanced budget legislation” passed many years ago. Or am I thinking of my state of California?
