The cure is obvious. The Republicans are at fault, because they are objecting to projected deficits of $1E12 as far as the eye can see. The Democrats have a sound plan: raise the debt limit as often as needed, just as the rabbit escapes greyhounds at the track. Then, carry on with the spending party, except include some more stimulus.

Oh, and raise taxes on the top 1 percent. Okay, 2. 5. 15. Whatever it takes to boost revenue by 60 percent above where it is now.

Now, turning serious, yes, the Republicans are at fault. They should acquiesce in some of what the Democrats want. Both factions hold some cards, both have to play ball. But the Democrats have not acquiesced in any serious sense to anything the Republicans want, at least not in any open forum.

The public is right—-both factions are to some extent at fault here.

Where have they suggested they continue the ‘spending party’?
