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 Congressio
nal farce to an end by including in his emergency or special measures a date certain by which salary and expense payments for Senators, Representa
tives and their staffs and consultant
s 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 Republican
s 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 incrementa
lly would have tremendous educationa
l effects for Senators, Representa
tives and Voters.
