Hopefully the whole debacle will focus people's minds on the real problem. The US government is spending more than it is taking in, and that's a problem with only 2 possible solutions (continuing to raise the debt ceiling doesn't count as a solution). We must reduce spending or increase revenue by raising taxes. There is nothing else to discuss.. kicking the can down the road only hurts us more in the long run.
I recommend actually watching the video linked in the submission.
