Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-Fla.), chair of the Democratic National Committee, saidWednesday that House Republicans are trying to impose dictatorship through their tactics inthe debt-ceiling negotiations. She said the GOP rhetoric could spark panic and chaos, whichshe called potentially devastating to the economy.

The chair telephoned POLITICO to express significant disappointment in where Republicanshave allowed this debate to degenerate.

Aren t we at the point where the closer weget to chaos, the more concern that thereshould be about coming to the table andcompromising with Democrats? WassermanSchultz asked. This is not leadership. This isalmost like dictatorship. I know they want toforce the outcome that their extremistswould like to impose. But they are getting

ready to spark panic and chaos, and they seem to be OK with that. And it s just reallydisappointing, and potentially devastating.

Specifically, Wasserman Schultz cited a movie clip House Republican Whip Kevin McCarthy(Calif.) had played Tuesday during a closed-door meeting of the House Republican Conference.The brief clip was from The Town, and Republicans said it was intended to send themessage that were all in this together.

The DNC chair said: They start the day with trying to incite their caucus with, essentially, violentmovie clips pushing their people to inflict pain and hurt people.

Michael Steel, press secretary to Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio), responded: Given howserious the situation is and the situation is serious why is she spending time complaining

about Kevin McCarthy s taste in movies?

Wasserman Schultz continued: What should be happening is what we ve been ready to do formonths. Ideally, what should be happening is a big deal a big solution for a big problem, asthe president has pushed for. At this point, it s probable that we re too close to the breakingpoint on Tuesday for that to happen.

At the very least, we should come to the table and hammer out a compromise that has thebalance in it that the overwhelming majority of the American people want and not just pile all

Good to see Democrats' affirmative action picks coming back to bite them in the backside. This woman,totally out of her depth, was picked because of her sex and because of her religion - to pull the wool over

jews' eyes about Obama's anti-Israeli sentiments. Problem is, she generally comes across as overlystrident, immature and unprepared. I have seen her on TV several times literally sobbing her eyes out andwailing about some bleeding heart cause.

Dictatorship is exactly right. The House leadership is t rying to roll the President, the Senate, and theAmerican people by using extreme economic force: threatening to tank the economy for a decade if theydon't get their way.

That's not compromise. It's forcing capitulation of the rest of the government. There is no negotiationhappening, they are using force.

The House is the one entity that has actually put forth and passed legislation. About the time the Democratseither a) put a plan on the table (yes, in writing) or b) allow the Cut, Cap, and Balance legislation to bedebated, amended, and voted on (totally up to Harry Reid), then maybe I'll give two seconds considerationto what they are saying about doing something about the debt and raising the debt ceiling.

It's not about compromise, it's about negotiation. Harry Reid calling legislation DOA is NOT negotiation - it'sasking the Republicans to come up with an alternative without offering one of their own.

President Obama's Monday Night Speech Was A Cry For Help!

The fact of the matter is that whether the U.S. federal government makes all its debt payments in August isbeside the point. The main problem is that the U.S. federal government has become heavily overborrowed.As Pimco bond king Bill Gross said last month, the U.S. is in worse shape than Greece. That perspective iseasily understood when one considers not only the federal government's $14.3 trillion debt, but that it alsohas $18 trillion in unfunded Social Security liabilities, plus over $36 trillion in unfunded Medicare liabilities.Indeed, the U.S. government is broke, it is running $1 trillion-plus deficits for the third fiscal year running,and President Barack Hussein Obama's administration does not have a clear or plausible short-term ormidterm plan for controlling either these deficits or how to finance all the debt that is coming due. The U.S.federal government should not have a AAA rating, on the basis of its immediate payments and liquiditysituation, and its credit fundamentals.

The Obama Administration needs to become seriously interested in economic stabilization policy, andquickly. It started to do this at the beginning of its tenure, but then veered off course by pressing for thebiggest increase in federal entitlements in two generations, i.e., Obamacare, which was the wrong thing todo. Now the federal government is having payments problems from having spent too much, and havingbeen too expansive in both its monetary and fiscal policies, and it is clear that the status quo has becomevery unsustainable. Mr. Obama should quit thinking about new spending programs like high speed railprojects and attacking Libya. The Obama Administration needs to think about how to restore confidence inthe federal government's credit, and in how to stabilize the U.S. dollar, and how to restore stability and faithin the U.S. as a private sector investment environment and location. If it doesn't know what to do, it can askthe International Monetary Fund for help. The IMF has many professionals who are experts at helpingcountries stabilize their economies.

If the Obama Administration is too proud to seek help from the IMF, it should get on the phone and call theBrazilian government. Brazil too has many experts in economic stabilization policy, people who have had alot of very successful first person experience. Chile is also a country which has been extremely creative inturning around a situation which was once considered a completely bankrupt public sector, to one of thestrongest, best-managed public sectors in the world.

Mr. Obama, your administration needs help! You need to realize that the federal government can't justspend the nation out of its serious economic problems. That approach has been tried many times, andoften does not work! Ask for help!
