Why Boehner Cries

It seems as though all those rounds of golf lately between Boehner and the President aren't likely to accomplish much, except maybe lowering the President's handicap.

According to Fox, Boehner can't deliver enough Republican votes to increase the debt limit. So where does that leave us?

Congress has over 200 caucuses. The largest is the Congressional Progressive Caucus. I think that what Congress needs is a new caucus, Democrats and Republicans, who are willing to raise the debt ceiling without cutting Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid benefits.

I'd call it the Sane Caucus.

Courage,

Alan Grayson

P.S. Please sign our petition at www.No-Cuts.com. And pass it on to every friend you have. Because the Sane Caucus needs to know you're with them.
