David Brooks of the NY Times says that President Obama has marginalized himself in the debt limit debate and now Congress has taken over. This comes at the same time that a poll by Ipsos on Monday night says that the American people overwhelmingly are against a debt ceiling plan without some revenue increases to the Federal coffers. According to the poll, 56% want a mix of spending cuts and tax increases while another 12% want a plan with no cuts and only tax increases. 19% want to rely on spending cuts.
