Serious cliff question

If we do go off the cliff-
The positives:
-We get alot closer to a balanced budget this year -everyone pitches in more instead of sticking the wealthy with the whole bill and building a culture that scapegoats the wealthy whenever we get into a jam
-deficits won't go up the way they would if we increase the debt ceiling over a deal.
It seems to me (could be missing something) that almost all of the negatives are short term or just bring us back to where we should be pre-manipulation: recession, unemployment, etc.
Would this provide a higher likelihood of longer term austerity and a brighter future for the next generation? I figure even if we go through tough times to bring the economy back to a more natural growth scale, isn't that worth it to decrease the burden on those who will come after us? We aren't even being asked to storm beaches to create a brighter future....
I'll duck and listen.

What you're missing is that they shouldn't be allowing taxes to increase while still providing unearned benefits to the leeches of society. It's like saying you're going to demand a raise from your boss because you don't want to stop paying your 3 car notes and unlimited cell phone plans.
They will still probably have to increase the debt ceiling anyway, this won't stop it.
It will not bring any longer term austerity. They will have to keep raising taxes to provide more benefits. The burden should not be on those who keep this country running.
