I read the column by Steven Joyce (June 10, “Boehner’s assumptions, logic a formula for disaster”) and I wanted to say that he’s right on target.

They ought to go back and see how many times (George W.) Bush and the Republicans raised the debt ceiling between 2000 and 2008. Maybe they will understand the Republicans are for the rich and that’s all they care about.
