Every Republican who votes to raise the debt limit should be primaried. The solution is to SLASH SPENDING on all social programs.
Why limit it to that? Simply cut the budget by 10%. Across the board.
If they are good managers, they will find a way. I know I was asked to do that a few times in my career.
That said, the government IS the economy. So, slashing budgets would end up with massive unemployment and lots of pissed off citizens.
