I have never voted to raise the debt ceiling due to the very situation we find ourselves in. Congress not only refuses to live within their means, but is making the problem worse everytime the debt ceiling is raised.
If you are serious about addressing the debt, then you have to look at our overseas expenditure. We have spent trillions of dollars and more importantly suffered the loss of thousands of lives attempting to support our empire through war and nation building.
The real problem is getting Congress to agree on the areas to cut spending. This will require great political courage from all sides of politics, that unfortunately doesn't exist at the moment.
There is a solution if agreement cannot be reached, and that would be for an across the board cut where everybody gets cut the same amount.
Frame the response around foreign policy and voting record
