This is in regards to the current "compromise" or "debt deal" that's on the floor of course.

I guess you have to ask yourself if you and future generations would be worse off if the country defaults because we didn't compromise with the Republicans, or would you and future generations be worse off living with disproportionately lower taxes for the rich, assaults on the environment, more wars, etc.

3. Third choice. Use the 14th amendment. NEVER give in to terrorists.

Giving in to terrorists just guarantees move terror.

This is a repeat, just with higher stakes. So Obama's supposed to appease the hostage takers every time?
