12. Here' s novel idea -- Tell them there is no deal on debt ceiling and..
If they want to negotiate over budget and policies there is plenty of opportunity during the normal budgeting process.

If they choose to default on the nations debts, it will be on their heads.

Repeat this endlessly in all possible venues by all possible Democratic leaders and spokespeople:

"IF THE GOP VOTES TO BE VINDICTIVE BY FAILING TO RAISE THE CEILING THEY ARE THE ONES WHO WILL BEAR RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE CONSEQUENCES."

Just a thought....After all, as recently as last year the thought of any adult politician refusing to raise the debt ceiling was considered almost inconceivable.
