The Treasury Department has warned it will not have enough money to meet U.S. commitments as of Oct. 17. With no hike to the debt ceiling by then, there is a chance the U.S. could default on its debt, or not make Social Security payments or checks to the military.
The division between the House and Senate Republicans has also given the White House increased leverage. Polls also show the Republican Party's approval rating plummeting, raising pressure on the GOP to concede. And Senate Republicans have been cool to the House GOP plan.
Rank-and-file members expressed anger at the White House and frustration with the Senate GOP.
"Clearly the president can't be trusted," said Rep. Aaron Schock (R-Ill.). "It is up to Senate Republicans to grow a backbone and stand with House Republicans like they said they were going to do."


No deal is 40% sequester. If republicans are allowed to fund the need parts of the federal government, This will be painful, but not so much as when Obama gets more entrenched.

Maybe firing the Obama operatives would be sufficient.

The principle is that the separation of powers need to be defended. It is not the Republicans the president wants to crush, but the house, and the people represented.

If DC is crushed along with the Obama corporate supporters, we win.
