He shamelessly refers to his proposal as "debt reduction bonds," as if it's possible to borrow your way out of debt.

Like giving a bottle to an alcoholic to 'cure' the DT's.

  No, more like breaking a rib while giving some one the Heimlich maneuver. Painful, but better that than choking to death.

  Of course, I do not (currently) plan to vote in favor of the bonds, because I have not seen any commitment to spending cuts that would actually be a cure. If there were some real cuts, and changes, I could understand borrowing to pay off current payments. It somewhat like restructuring a loan - extending payments over a longer time, but making it possible to go on.

  Just trying to be fair to his proposals.
