"Over the next couple months, members of Congress will have the responsibility of raising the debt ceiling, setting a budget for the coming year and deciding whether to allow $1.2 trillion in spending cuts to take effect."

"We raise the debt ceiling for a simple reason: to pay our bills. As President Obama said this week, Congress can't stop paying the tab for things that Congress has already approved. Not only would it be reckless and wrong, it would have devastating consequences for our economy and our people."

In order to pay our bills, the next negotiation should be to require a process be approved to shut down the government in a way to pay the bills, and cut expenses in the event that more credit is unavailable, or the continuing resolution is delayed. The argument would then be how to save wasteful spending, which is the correct argument.
