C-SPAN2 has Cruz C-SPAN has Reid hurling ultimatums.

It is not just Obamacare but the debt limit, which cannot go on being raised ad infinitum.

The Dems have been in control for almost all of my life time, and the GOP has compromised with them, to get into this mess. Moreover, incumbents are under enormous pressure to "bring home some bacon." There are endless excuses to waste money, but not many appealing to not spend it. Meanwhile, the waste goes on and on and on.

I have become a Coolidgean in recent years. Waste not, want not and all that.

Cruz is doing a great job so far, and so seems to be Cornyn. Of course, untill June, my Senators were Feinstein and Boxer.

I just got e-mails from Cornyn that he will vote against funding Obamacare.

Maybe, but you can't balance the budget without getting rid of the Democrats.
