Stick to your guns. No significant concessions, no increase in the debt ceiling.

Start asking young people how they plan to pay the debt off and how they are going to deal with the carrying costs which will dominate any budget?

There’s nothing “clean” about the obscene national debt.

Reduce General/Flag Officer ranks by 50%, starting with Thoroughly Modern Milley. The military needs an overhaul, starting at the top.

“Cut a little ... spending”

Get a proportionate debt limit increase.

Repeat, over and over.

Don’t waste time haggling with recalcitrant Democrats, especially Schumer, who has an iron will.

This is what we thought we could make deals on: item 1...item n.

If the Democrats vote on bill 1 for item 1, they will get a debt limit increase of amount 1.

Forget about trying to compose 2000-page bills that will waste months of time and have failed to work.

Think of a reform, put a debt limit increase amount on it, and put it to a vote, and fast, the debt clock is ticking.

A simply yea or nay, up to ten to twenty times a day, on a matching number of bills.

A long journey begins with a step.

Step 1, step 2,...

Bill 1/Vote 1, Bill 2/Vote 2,...Bill 2000/Vote 2000...

Put the bills that don’t pass up for a re-vote in about a month, with a somewhat smaller debt limit increase.

No Omnibus, or No Debt Ceiling, should be the plan.

I’m not seeing the point of a debt ceiling that keeps the ceiling constantly spiraling upward.

By “clean”, Biden means unconditional.
