Meaning, if we default now there will be a workable solution when in the future we won't have one.

I always take a step back, I get heated from these discussions too. After all, this whole sad affair is very personal to us all, and we all have a lot at stake.
I do think we need to raise the debt cap in the short term to avoid hurting people who don't deserve to be hurt. Starting the day after, we then need to start chopping the things you mentioned above, and a lot more.
But, who will do this? It's up to the American people to not forget about what happened here and to not let any politician forget it either. Unfortunately, we seem to have short attention spans and memories when it comes to issues like this.
