President Obama and Congressional Republicans continue to negotiate a deal to raise the nation's debt ceiling as an August 2 deadline looms. Cuts to entitlements are on the table, but raising taxes on high income earners, key Republicans say, is not. What would you sacrifice to get the nation's finances in order? And what happens if a deal isn't reached? Join us Wednesday at 9 on the Sound of Ideas.
