Uh... National Sales Tax will never be passed, and wouldn't solve the problem. Knowing the players, though, they'll end up with the Democrats agreeing to cut benefits on aid programs a tiny tiny bit, Republicans agreeing to raise taxes on the rich (or at least the middle class) a tiny tiny bit, and then both say "...and so that we don't ruin the country, we'll raise the debt ceiling by enough that it'll be the next congress/presidents' problem, whoever they may be."
