Just and Idea to solve the debt limit problem
John Boner has nowhere to turn. He can't even give up to the President because his Tea Party faction won't vote for anything. OK, tell them they don't have to. Boner should put up a clean bill before the house tonight (or tomorrow) and then tell every one of the Republicans in the House to go out to dinner and not come back until the vote has been counted. That way the Tea Party doesn't have to vote for it and a bill comes out of the house that Turtle-man might get enough Senate Republicans to vote for to end this mess quickly and with as little egg on their faces as is possible right now. Remember, in the House all it takes is 50%+1 Of Those Present to win, so if the Republicans aren't there the Democrats can pass the bill alone, and assume full responsibility for its passage, like it or not.

How's that sound as a way to get it moving?

2. Solve it FAST Stop the Hypocrisy
 Why do Americans not insist(RALLY, RANT & RAGE) that the
first cuts to ANY taxpayer-supported wages/benefits are those
of ALL the politicians... President, congressmen,senators,
upper political civil servants!  
 If this were to happen they would have NO problem coming up
with PRAGMATIC not rhetorical solutions. 
 WHY do AMERICANS NOT JOIN TOGETHER EN MASSE AND INSIST
" POLITICIANS FIRST!" . 
 Don't forget: they put themselves first on EVERYTHING ELSE: 
Best benefits, best expense accounts, best health care, best
working environment .... all at taxpayers' expense.`
  
Will you allow them, by dithering, to further reduce your
common American's well-being?
