Sure, the country'd go to hell for maybe a decade or so, but we're heading there anyway. The first thing I'd do is say to the teeming masses, "Social Security has FSCK ALL to do with the deficit. You know what caused the national debt? The Republican Party. Before their hero Reagan, we were the world's leading creditor nation. In four years Republican policies turned the world's leading creditor nation into a debtor nation for the first time since 1914. The way they did it was by turning the tax code literally on its head for the richest Americans. Before they got their way with the tax code, those folks were paying a tax rate of 72% on their income over 360,000 and keeping 28%. With Republican policies they changed that and they began paying 28% on the money above 360,000 and keeping 72%. What did they do with all that money? They took it out of our country and hid it in things like Cayman Island bank accounts where they vacation. Before Reagan left office the US was the world's leading debtor nation. Republicans call that economic success. I don't. Now these same idiots want you to believe that I don't care about you trying to make a living for your family of four on 55,000. They don't even know anyone who makes less than several million and that is exactly who they represent. ..."
You make that case to the American people. If the right wingers don't back down or get thrown out of office, then you tell the American people, "Look. These guys are as corrupt as it gets and things are going to get very hard in the coming years. I tried to get them to see that billionaires have been coddled for the past 30 years at the expense of everybody else. I don't have much I can do by myself, but there is one thing I can do. We are going to print money 24/7 until our entire National debt is paid off. That will cause the dollar to collapse and things will get hard. But they will get better eventually. But I warn you, if you keep sending idiots to Washington like Boehner, Ryan, McConnell, Cantor and the rest, they'll screw everything up again for the benefit of their pals on Wall Street."
In short, monetizing the fricking debt would be a good start. Without a national debt, the fricking Republican Nazis won't have that in their quiver to continue to screw the working class with.
In shorter still, I'd make changes you can believe in.
