That is the plan we followed for the last four years and the voters were bought off with Obama phones.
I say let them go off the fiscal cliff, and then refuse to raise the national debt limit. Make them hit the wall and sober up while we still have a partial constitution and the national debt is salvageable.
This will rush us to the fork in the road where we have to decide if we will be the USA or Zimbabwe. If we wait much longer we will not have the wherewithal to save ourselves.
This works for me.
