Seems to me that neither side wants to do what needs to be done to even slow the bus down.

Some think taxes need to be raised but without cutting back on the amount that is spent.

As for the Fed buying 100% of the debt,sounds like the old check kiting scheme to me.

They could let everyone in the US put something in the pot then slow down the increase in the rise of monies spent by all of these depts then slowly the debt would decrease.

The dems have already said they will not put any decrease's in the near years because they would look like they don't care about their base.
