(CNN) Another debt ceiling deadline is approaching this summer and a screw up of cataclysmic proportions from Washington is not out of the question. Perhaps it's time we the people ask why we tolerate the existence of the debt ceiling in the first place. The debt ceiling is both dumb and dangerous. So while the debt ceiling is dumb and dangerous, the only responsible action for a member of Congress is to support raising it when it comes to a vote this summer. Getting rid of, and replacing, the dumb and dangerous debt ceiling should be an easy decision for Congress.
