united states, the blow to our prestige, how the rest of the world views us, that is irreparable. >> mr. ribble, what do you think in terms of an exit strategy that gets us through the holidays that we don't have something very horrible happen? >> yes, my own plan would be of course to actually address what are the true drivers of our long-term fiscal condition, which would be entitlements. there is broader agreement on some of the reforms to actually reform social security. my encouragement to the speaker is that we actually look at that one, completely drill right into it and craft the policy necessary to take that 9.6 or $10 trillion of unfounded obligation and secure and save social security for the next 75 years. it can be done.
