Biapartisanship on Debt Talks

I'm getting tired of listening to all of the right wing pundits and politicians who are complaining about the lack of a debt plan coming from the Democrats/White House.  Fact is, per the constitution, all plans for revenues MUST start in the House of Representatives.  The House of Representatives at this time is controlled by the Republicans.  Thus a debt deal MUST start with Republicans in the House of Representatives.  If a democratic plan is introduced to deal with the debt it will not see the light of day for the simple reason that it is a democratic plan (see the Harry Reid plan as an example).  The best they can do appears to be to have the President work with Congressional leaders on a bipartisan agreement, that does not work though when Congressional leaders cannot sway the votes of their own caucus (see John Boehner and the House GOP).   Here's a better idea for the GOP, how about a legitimate bipartisan agreement that both sides can agree upon, where both sides get some of what they want, where both sides give up something that they want?   The Democrats have done so, they are now willing to accept a deal with no new revenues (which they had previously insisted be included in any deal).  The GOP though has refused to that to this point, the GOP seems to be negotiating under the impression that they control both sides of congress, that won't cut it, they also need to compromise with the democrats if they truly want a debt deal.  John McCain & George Voinovich are absolutely correct, you just don't play chicken with the world economy on the line.
