There's an easy way to solve this debt limit crisis.
Simply agree to let the Repubs make the Bush taxcuts permanent.
This would create a new era of bi-partisanship. The Republicans would get what they covet more than anything and the Democrats would get off the hook.
They extended them once so why not again? It just means we will have to cut $800 billion more out of programs that people need. What's the big deal?
We don't want to hurt the unemployed or the most needy in our country so let's agree to be bribed and blackmailed. After all, those making less than $250K per year are simple middle-class folks - not like the 50% that make less than $25K per year. We have to protect our base.
Let's make a deal. Give them their taxcuts. We will take the cuts in programs. Sound fair?
