Passing the continuation of the bush tax cuts last year added 70 billion to the debt. The deal they just made on discretionary spending was only for 38 billion. End the bush era tax cuts permanently. The GOP chorus of "it's not a tax issue it's a spending issue" is a red herring as usual.

Bring tax levels to pre-bush rates and cut non-discretionary spending and then we'll talk.

Oh, and on-topic, the debt ceiling is always raised. This game is another red herring.
