Tea Party Debt Plan Takes Center Stage

The House is set to vote on a Republican 'cut, cap and balance' plan Tuesday

The next step in the weeks-long saga over how to increase the government's borrowing cap is to let House Tea Party forces try it their way.

A Republican "cut, cap and balance" plan set for a House vote Tuesday would condition a $2.4 trillion increase in the so-called debt limit on an immediate $100 billion-plus cut from next year's budget and adoption by Congress of a constitutional amendment to require a balanced budget.

"Let's let the American people decide," said Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, on "Fox News Sunday." "Do they want something common sense as cutting spending, capping the growth in government and requiring a balanced budget amendment to the Constitution?"
