Let's face it. A debt ceiling deal is next in line for the making. Geithner with President Obama's approval already demonstrat
ed initiative by exercising his authority under his emergency measures to give Congress additional time to act or not. But Geithner can bring this Congressional farce to an end by including in his emergency or special measures a date certain by which salary and expense payments for Senators, Representatives and their staffs and consultants would cease without the debt ceiling being raised. Maybe continue paying Congress’ light bill so they can see their way to the Chambers to vote, but that’s the only exception. If Geithner did this, Congress (including Republicans and pesky Tea Partiers) would figure out a way to raise the debt limit before Geithner’s date certain. Announcing such a date certain and listing various payment stops perhaps incrementally would have tremendous educational effects for Senators, Representatives and Voters.
