'Slash And Burn" Schumer Accuses Republicans Of Sabotaging The Economy To Hurt Obama

I want every Democrat on  offensive.  I want them all to be "dicks" just like Obama.

"Now it is becoming clear that insisting on a slash-and-burn approach may be part of this plan -- and it has a double-benefit for Republicans," Schumer (D-N.Y.) said. "It is ideologically tidy and it undermines the economic recovery, which they think only helps them in 2012."

As proof, Schumer referenced remarks by Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), who said last year his main aim was to make Obama a one-term president.

"Republicans aren't just opposing the president any more, they are opposing the economic recovery itself and all that means for America's working and middle class families," Schumer said

On the debt ceiling, the congressionally-authorized level of debt that can be taken on by the Treasury, Schumer said he thinks Democrats have an advantage over Republicans. He said House Republicans do not have the votes for a final deal to raise the debt ceiling in exchange for spending cuts, which is being hammered out between the White House and Congress.

Republicans have said they will not support a final deal if it includes revenue-raising measures, which Democrats insist must be part of a final debt-reduction deal. Schumer remained vague about the exact level of revenue-raisers, but said it was "more likely than people think" that revenues will be included.
