Every day we ask influential politicos to send us their top three bullet points that are driving the day's conversation inside and outside Washington.
RedState.Com Editor Erick-Woods Erickson:
– In the eight days it took Congress to cut $38.5 billion, the national debt went up over $50 billion.
– President Obama will now get serious about cutting the debt with more of the same - tax increases.
– The big fight now moves to the debt ceiling and what Republicans will get out of it.
Senior Editor of MarioWire.com Mario Solis-Marich:
– Insight: Obama avoids a fight, Boehner picks a fight, Reid Boxes.
– Out of Sight: A big budget leadership moment arrives and the new GOP rising star Marco Rubio looks the other way.
– Out of Mind: Trump brings the birther madness to the popular culture much to the dismay of mainstream Republicans…anyone for Tea?
