In the comment above, I put forth a “solution” to this debt ceiling mess that I think most Conservatives would be happy to see implemented (even if that’s not obvious at the outset.)
Yet, I can generate no discussion of it, no matter where I post it. Why is that?
1. Too complicated to wrap your brains around it?
2. Don’t want to raid the Trust Funds?
3. Want the government to downsize all $140 billion each month (even though that just won’t happen)?
4. Don’t think the Trust Funds have any assets to use this way?
5. Don’t believe $40 bn a month can be cut either?
6. Other? (Feel free to be brutally honest.)
Please, I’m curious. What stops people from even wanting to consider how this would work? After all, if Congress does nothing, it could very well be what happens.

Probably because we can’t wrap our brains around trust funds that don’t exist.
