Seeing as the debt ceiling has nothing to do with future spending, or the deficit, don't you think it would simply be better to plan the future spending in a more responsible way?

Guess IMO it comes down to military spending preserving independence while entitlement spending creating dependence. I'd rather be independent while some prefer a hangy, dried up tiat to suck on.

You mean, independent like ... oh, Haliburton? Lockheed? TASC?
Ah, found this quote today:

"We have superceded Congress to facilitate 750 billion dollars in domestic cuts including Medicare in order to end an artificially-induced political hostage crisis over debt, originating from the bills run up by a Republican president who funneled billions of taxpayer dollars to the military-industrial complex by unfunded, unnecessary, and unproductive wars, enabled in doing so by the very same Republican leaders who now cry for balanced budgets - and we have called it compromise.

The debt deal just done has guaranteed our continuing crappy recession and continuing unemployment for the next couple of years. Enjoy the fruits of a proven-disastrous financial ideology.
