South Carolina Sen. Jim DeMint, a favorite of Tea Party-leaning Republicans, is urging wary Senate Democrats to seriously consider supporting the House-approved Cut, Cap, Balance Act as a conclusion to the nation’s debt ceiling debate.
“I hope that Senate Democrats will realize — if they want to solve this problem before Aug. 2, there’s only one plan on the table that will do that,” DeMint said in an interview with The DC’s Ginni Thomas. “If they vote it down, we’re out of time.”
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, the Nevada Democrat, has scheduled a “motion to table” vote on Friday for the Cut, Cap, Balance Act. If 51 senators vote for the motion, the bill will be scrapped — something Reid clearly wants. DeMint warns strongly against choosing that course.
“The president gives us a lot of words,” DeMint said. ”But there’s not one proposal from the president, there’s not one proposal from Democrats, and Republicans have unfortunately been over here negotiating with ourselves.”
“But now we have a position,” DeMint added, “and I hope Republicans will stick with it.”

Well I say consider this country over if the dems get their way...
I know there are a lot of things behind the scene that we don't know and or probably should know but that's why and how the govt operates...
As the repubu's state "they are the only ones who bring a sort of solution to the table" all the others bring nothing but want to raise the limit that will hurt us in the short and long term...
But you can clearly see based on whats going on that dems want this economy to crash for the greater good of themselves or for money or for a one world govt... that is the only thing I can think of... Because if were near default, and they wont even take out 100k from the budget to help save spending then next month or next year we will be in the same boat... Mark my words...
