One side wants a short term deal and tie up congress with debt ceiling issues again?

And the other wants a long term deal that cuts entitlements and government spending with little or no revenue increases?

Are there no other possible outcomes cause neither one of those sound like a win for anyone but republicans and the ultra wealthy.

Can't they just raise the ceiling with nothing attached? Please?

1. The Republicans refuse to raise the debt ceiling with nothing attached.

That is why we are in this awful mess.

Additionally it sounds like House Republicans are itching to put us into default. Boehner has no control of them
