The Drunk On The Beltway: Two Obama Tricks That Are Going To Clean Boehner’s Clock

".... here’s a better idea:

First, Pennsylvania Senator Pat Toomey needs to get repeated votes on his bill to require that interest on the debt be paid, even if the debt limit is not raised. This can be done because the cost of debt service is only roughly 6% of the federal budget, whereas 60-70% of the budget would continue to come in, even if the federal government can’t borrow a penny.

Second, Boehner should mimic some of Obama’s tactics.

Start out with a non-negotiable demand that none of the $2 trillion debt limit increase can be used to fund ObamaCare, which is certainly part of the upward pressure on health costs responsible for the additional borrowing demands.

Let the debt limit battle be over the wildly unpopular ObamaCare law."
