It's nice to see that one of the federal reserve presidents feels the US debt is unsustainable.

In my letter to my senators and representative, both Franken and Klobuchar responded. Klobuchar gave "copy and paste" response that I had seen from her before.
Franken I think realizes the situation a little more, but railed against HR 1, which I think is the GOP's move to cut like $60 billion from the current year's economy.
Most people don't notice this but the federal government has run out of money for its current fiscal year (which doesn't line up with the calendar year), and has authorized short spending resolutions to keep itself going.
We can take our pill now when it's not as strong, or we can take it later when it's going to knock us out. On editorial I saw suggested that 64 of the senators sent Obama a letter recommending he work with the debt commission's recommendations.
