The House Teapublicans want to "negotiate?" Fine.

[Pab Sungenis]

Send them a CR with a minimum wage increase to $10.75, freezing Pentagon spending at 75% of current levels, and repealing the Debt Limit law entirely.

THEN we can "negotiate" from that.

1. Good idea, and

include in the CR a transaction tax. That should just about do it, don't ya' think.

K&R!

If Boehner needs to save face, here's a compromise we can make...

If he passes a clean continuing resolution and a clean bill to raise the debt ceiling, we agree to restore the income tax rates in effect when Ronald Reagan was overwhelmingly re-elected in 1984. And we'll throw in adjusting for inflation.
