"Avert a fiscal crisis" ?

Mr. Obama and the congressional leaders are supposedly working to "avert a fiscal crisis," as one news service called it.

We owe how many trillions of dollars? It seems to me that raising revenue and lowering spending is exactly what we ought to be doing. Sure, it will hurt. Sure, it is going to eat into our prosperity. But when you owe that kind of money it is our moral obligation to tighten our belts and get it done. Looks to me like it is more like a "fiscal obligation."

if you had "one day in office" what would you do? (besides run out).

Pass a law balanced budget law that has some teeth in it - like maybe the Executive and Legislative branches are drawn and quartered if it isn't.
