Put the ball entirely in democrats hands and let them reap the rewards/punishment of this looming disaster.
Obama has been playing his usual dishonest game. Give him the ball. Do your part and walk away.
Fuck it, vote present

Cuts, Consolidations, and Savings - Budget of the U.S. Government Fiscal year 2013
Obamas proposal included giving him the authority to unilaterally raise the debt ceiling as he sees fit.
Has he lost his fucking mind? At a bare minimum he thinks we've lost ours.
In modern history, Ronald Reagan oversaw the largest number of debt ceiling increases, and George W. Bush approved a near doubling of the borrowing cap during his two terms in office.
The White House
The debt ceiling was raised on seven occasions during President George W. Bush's two terms in office, from $5.95 trillion in 2001 to nearly double that, $11.315 trillion, in 2009 - an increase of $5.365 trillion or 90 percent
Congress has tinkered with the debt ceiling, the statutory limit on amount of money the United States government is authorized to borrow to meet its legal obligations, a grand total of 78 times since 1960 - 49 times under Republican presidents and 29 times under Democratic presidents.
I'd agree, the House repubs should pass a tax revenue bill that increases revenue by reducing or eliminating tax credits and deductions and extends the Bush tax cuts for everybody.

I don't think the House bill in July had anything in it about reducing tax credits and deductions. Problem is, if you give the democrats their tax increases first, they'll never agree to any real spending cuts.
The Democratic-controlled Senate passed a bill in July that would extend many of the expiring George W. Bush-era tax cuts for middle-income families, while letting taxes go up for individuals who make more than $200,000 and married couples making more than $250,000.
The Republican-led House passed a bill in August that would extend the tax cuts for just about everyone.
Republican leaders in Congress say they are willing to accept higher taxes on the wealthy, but only by reducing or eliminating credits, deductions and exemptions. They adamantly oppose higher tax rates, which Democratic leaders are demanding.
Leaders from each party said their bill should be the starting point for finding a solution in the next few weeks. Both bills would extend tax cuts through next year. The Senate bill would save taxpayers about $250 billion, according to congressional estimates. The House bill would save taxpayers about $400 billion.

you might add this to the list of the Administrations proposals as well ... a rather comprehensive package of $ 4 trillion in cost savings.
