As long as politicians use taxpayer money and government programs to bribe the citizens into keeping them in power, it will never come about.I have a much more brilliant proposal for the debt ceiling.
Pass a fucking budget and stick to it!
Debt ceiling solved.
You all can thank Me now.
Now that is a novel approach but never forget who you are depending on
The Obama Administration's Genius Idea on the Debt Ceiling
Rising population, ever greater challenges in some sectors and inflation means we will always have to raise the debt ceiling since when it comes right down to it we are politically incapable of further cutting spending or raising revenues. Accept it, deficit spending is here to stay as it is so much more politically safe than raising enough taxes to cover what we spend or cutting enough to meet our selfish desire to have our cake and eat it too.It isn't rocket surgery you know.I have a much more brilliant proposal for the debt ceiling.

How does an omnibus spending bill for a fiscal year help the debt ceiling? Are you talking a balanced budget? Still no help. The debt ceiling covers ongoing spending already committed to including mandatory spending which is not covered by the discretionary spending contained in the budget. You can now thank me for explaining this to you.
We know how much income we have. You spend that income until you don't have it any more, and then you stop.
You include things in your budget like, payments on the interest of our debt, payments on our debt, payments on our security.......things like that.....
There will not be a need for a debt ceiling because you do not incur any more debt.
If a budget is balanced, there is no deficit to increase the debt. That means we need only apply enough interest payments on our debt to keep it from being added to the debt, while making a principle payment on that debt.
What is left over is what gets debated on how to be spent.
Asking people to accept it is like asking people to ignore a child molester who has moved into a house across the street from a grade school.Rising population, ever greater challenges in some sectors and inflation means we will always have to raise the debt ceiling since when it comes right down to it we are politically incapable of further cutting spending or raising revenues.

Obama's debt ceiling proposal: Replace it with a vote of disapproval.
This is a little lost in the dust of the fiscal cliff negotiations, but the White House's opening bid contains as a sub-theme a really smart idea on the debt ceiling.

I do not accept it. I will acknowledge that Americans have become so selfish and self-centered that they will vote for their own short term self interest, not knowing that they are voting not only against their overall best interest, but the best interest of their children and grandchildren.
Baseline budgeting is only one of the means by which we have dug this very deep hole, and it is the means by which we continue to be enslaved to our addiction. Big government.
However, means of freeing ourselves is not really that hard and can be accomplished with the most rudimentary accounting tools.
The Budget.
But lets us continue on down this path where we don't teach an ever growing population to be less dependent upon government (thereby reducing the need for ever increasing budgets) and lets continue to foster the notion that government exists solely for the purpose of taking care of our every want and desire.
When the end comes, people are going to scream, why didn't we do the hard thing back then?
But that will be far too late and those who will conquer us will not care about any of this.
But hey, it won't affect us, so screw it.... Let the next couple generations deal with it.

from your link-
The Geithner proposal is to turn the debt ceiling back into a grandstanding game by flipping the order of operations. When the president goes above the ceiling, Congress will have the right to pass a resolution of disapproval. Then the president can veto the resolution. In theory, Congress can override that veto with a two-thirds supermajority, but in the real world that'll never happen. Congress gets its chance at symbolic opposition, and there's no risk to the economy. It's a great idea.
right , so removing the power of the purse from the house and turning into a useless exercise is a good thing? well of course to you it is...:rolleyes;
They chickened out and abdicated that responsibility to the "super committee" once, I can see many of them making the political calculation now that this might be a better way to do it since it is not actually a vote for more spending, rather a decision to pay the bills we already have and the fallout was just too damned negative for their tastes.

That is bullshit. If we run a surplus every year we will never again have to increase the debt ceiling because we will always have more money than we are spending. That is something so simple even Clinton understood it, which is why he joined with Gingrich to convince idiots that we actually had a surplus his last tow years in office.
