Carol Peracchio: Negotiating with Lunatics

One of the benefits of having been a nurse for over thirty years is that people will occasionally allow me to be brutally honest.

Who's crazy and who's not?  Each side can say the same about the other.  I am persuaded that the negotiations must end and they can take a "clean" vote on the debt limit.  No new taxes, no new spending cuts.  This doesn't solve the problem, but it can't be solved in this political environment.  We need a united, not a divided government.  A divided government worked in the nineties, but this isn't the nineties.  It is not working now.
