Oh boy, Maga Mike Johnson needs D votes to avoid a shutdown

I agree with you first point, but I'm of the view that your latter suggestion is impossible.

It would collapse the entire system because the system itself is designed to require ever-increasing levels of debt just to continue.

I said it was the only way to reign them in. Didn't say it is possible. That's like asking Congress critters to put term limits on themselves or do any thing to stop the 24/7/365/4 endless election cycle.
