Who refused deal with our debt by the necessary and essential revenue increases? Not the Dems.
Which party has successfully screwed the US economy just to try and screw Obama politically? It's the Republicans, who can't control their Tea Party faction.

ABC News:

Official reasons given, one official says, will be the political confusion surrounding the process of raising the debt ceiling, and lack of confidence that the political system will be able to agree to more deficit reduction. A source says Republicans saying that they refuse to accept any tax increases as part of a larger deal will be part of the reason cited.
