Make a deal, already.

Speaker Boehner, I know you are afraid of the Tea Party. I know that the 80-odd Tea Party freshmen gave you your House majority, and you the Speakership...however, I have also seen you try to reach a solution with President Obama, then be pulled back by Majority Leader Cantor.

Do the math. There are 80-odd TP backed representatives. The majority of the House, of both parties are realists who WILL support a plan that is a compromise involving both cuts and revenue increases. The same is true in the Senate. The bi-partisan majority is made up of realists willing to compromise.

Now, you may ask, why would a Canadian care? Excellent question.

If the USA goes into default, you will, again, drag most of the world into recession. That's what comes of being "Leaders of the Free World." You have a responsibility beyond your borders and electorate.

Please try to live up to it.
