Why not start screaming now?
Why are Reid, et. al simply writing letters? Why not start shouting from the rooftops and into every single camera "The GOP are trying to hide their failures. They want to put your grandkids into debt without telling anyone."
The stunt of closing Senate business was such a success a few months back specifically because it was surprising to see Dems show a spine...same with the unified block on social security. This isn't like Alito or Roberts or even Iraq where there's dissention within the Dems' ranks, so why not stand up and say "Irresponsible Republicans can't manage our country's money and are trying to hide that fact from you."

Let someone else make the hard choices and get blamed for them
The Republicans want to keep this quiet and out of the public consciousness as long as they're in control of the government.
If the next President is a Democrat every problem will suddenly become this insurmountable crisis that couldn't be avoided. When the Democrats are invariably forced to make the hard choices necessary to clean up this mess do you thing the GOP will cut us any slack?
Of course if the Democrats are incapable of a national campaign to unseat the Republican majority then I have to wonder what this country will be like by the time it is impossible not to deal with this fiscal train wreck.
