My not-so-devious plan is what you see above. Without venom, bile, or sarcasm, without party politics, and without ridiculous claims or fiscal irresponsibility, to get everyone talking about real ideas to fix our real problem. 
The more realistic input that everyone has does two things. (1) Puts forward good ideas from everyone regardless of rank or station. (2) To participate in such a discussion, it forces everyone to learn the real issues and to realize what a financial disaster we are truly in, thereby avoiding knee jerk, uneducated, selfish childlike reactions.
