First of all, there is nothing to cut. The Democrats know it, the Tea Party people know it, and the Republicans know it.

Once you take out social security, medicare, and defense, that leaves less than 15% of the budget to work with, and every congressman and Senator has at least one program in that 15% that he doesn't what touched. There is nothing to cut that will have any real impact on the debt.

The only way to fix the debt is to raise taxes, but we already found out that raising taxes is impossible in the current political climate. So either deal with the debt, or increase taxes. Those are the only options.
