  2. Put a lid on debt ceiling debate

    Last year's tussle over increasing the federal debt limit showed Congress at its worst, paralyzed by dueling ideologies and incapable of striking a grand bargain. The eventual compromise by lawmakers and the White House raised the debt ceiling enough to last until the end of 2012 or early 2013, giving voters a chance to shuffle the deck in Washington before the next round of negotiations. House Speaker John A. Boehner (R-Ohio), however, has been calling on Congress to <a href=&quot;http://lat.ms/K9hi59">take up the issue</a> before the election, saying Congress <a href="http://lat.ms/JmsfiO">shouldn't wait</a> He's got a point, but the debt ceiling bill is the wrong place for that debate.

  3. Can Congress steer us away from the fiscal cliff? Don't bet on it

    Although Mitt Romney wants to focus on jobs and economic growth, the House GOP leadership seems determined to make the coming election a referendum on the federal budget. That's a debate at least some Democrats believe is a winner for them as well: It's an opportunity to talk about Republicans' unwillingness to raise taxes on &quot;millionaires and billionaires." It's also a chance to try to define the Republicans' approach in a newly unflattering way: "austerity."

  4. Silencing Kathleen Sebelius

    Prodded by an ultraconservative Catholic group, the Archdiocese of Washington, D.C., has criticized Friday's scheduled speech at Georgetown University by Secretary of Health and Human Services Kathleen Sebelius. Although Sebelius favors abortion rights, the &quot;sin" that incurred the archdiocese's displeasure was the Obama administration's proposed rule requiring insurance coverage for contraception for employees of religious hospitals and educational institutions. Because Sebelius' actions "present the most direct challenge to religious liberty in recent history," the archdiocese suggested, students at the Jesuit-affiliated university shouldn't be able to hear her speak at an awards ceremony for its Public Policy Institute.
