There are a number options that Biden could pursue- and he may well chose the ones that do the least direct harm to the American people. But that Republicans would inflict such harm should signal to the American people that they must become a minority party.And if there are spending cuts and the President doesn't pursue his other options- then perhaps it should all rest on the defense budget. Republican arrogance seeks to maintain military spending at current levels and squeeze out social programs such as Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid. If Republican's force major defense cuts they will reinforce their image as a party of treason. If they achieve cuts in Social Security and Medicare- they will be seen as a party of betrayal. Either way they lose (along with the American people). After all, it is Republicans that will be forcing the issue for political gain- as their track record when in power has shown almost no interest in balancing the budget: "Reagan took the deficit from $70 billion to $175 billion. Bush 41 took it to $300 billion. Clinton got it to zero. Bush 43 took it from zero to $1.2 trillion. Obama halved it to $600 billion. Trump’s got it back to a trillion.'-PolitifactPerverse logic may be needed with a perverse party.
