In my opinion, the Republicans could not prevail on the merits of their budget priorities without threatening to cause grave economic damage if they don't get their way. If the GOP did not have the leverage of the debt limit, I would imagine that the deficit would be cut even more, but the spending cuts would come in different areas, and the fiscal equation would be more balanced in terms of revenue and expenditures. After all the budget voted on by the GOP included a six trillion dollar deficit and cut revenues. Doesn't sound like fiscal soundness to me.
