How about we set debt limit at $50T?

Wed, Jan 18, 2012 (2:01 a.m.)

I see that the periodic ritual of raising the federal debt ceiling is once again in the news. It seems like this subject keeps raising its ugly head.

If politicians are serious about buckling down and concentrating on solving the nation’s problems, let’s buy a couple of years respite from this and just raise the debt ceiling to $50 trillion. That way we will grant ourselves two or three years in which this issue does not come up, and the government can focus on all the marvelous things it does to get us to that $50 trillion limit as quickly as possible.
