chamber of commerce. the money "the debt ceiling does offer a needed catalyst for serious negotiations on budget discipline. but avoiding even a technical default is essential. this is a risk our country must not take". a new cnn polling tonight reflects that concern and also the obstacles to reaching a deal. a strong majority of democrats and independents say there would be a major crisis or major problems if the debt ceiling is not raised. 72 and 60% respectively. but republicans are split. 50/50. the polling also shows the democrats and independents by even bigger majorities, 83 and 65% prefer a deal with spending cuts and tax increases. while only 37% of republicans want such a mix. which is why some of the lawmakers you just heard are holding so firm against any compromise that includes revenues or some of them against even raising the debt ceiling at all. believe it or not, the country's been here before. even those president back then was a staunch conservative and a tea party hero today, listen to
