The Atlantic: "Five Reasons the House GOP Is to Blame"

.....Great chart at end of showing impact of Bush Wars and Tax Cuts

Still: When we look back on the destructive folly of this summer, none of us will be seen at our best. But the people threatening to bring out the worst are mostly in the House GOP. As David Brooks put it in his column three weeks ago:

>> If the debt ceiling talks fail, independent voters will see that Democrats were willing to compromise but Republicans were not. If responsible Republicans don't take control, independents will conclude that Republican fanaticism caused this default. They will conclude that Republicans are not fit to govern.
And they will be right.<<

CredoAction: "Tell President Obama: Use your 14th Amendment powers and end the crisis"

SIGN THE PETITION NOW -----



The petition reads:

"President Obama, I urge you to invoke your 14th Amendment powers and end this crisis. The 14th Amendment clearly states that the US government's debt 'shall not be questioned.' Extremist Republicans in the House have held America hostage for too long. It is time to act without them. It is time to use your 14th Amendment powers."
