Poll: What much should the Debt Limit be Raised?

I love it when the press actually does its job. Last week, a reported asked white house press secretary Jay Carney what the President was looking to get out of a debt limit raise. You know, the tough grilling questions like "How much?" or "What kind of a timetable to get a spending agreement deal for a larger limit raise?". Of course this line of thinking goes completely against Obama's true objective, to stop having to answer for congress whenever he wants to do anything, anything! 

In light of this obvious dodge, I thought I would pose the question to you guys. What do you feel that the debt limit should be raised by?

$100 Billion - That will buy us a couple of weeks or so to grind out another month long deal.

$500 Billion - Enough time to form a committee and convince the few naive pundits think they are actually trying.

$1 Trillion - Enough to make people start to think we don's have to worry about this, at least for the time being.

$4.7 Trillion - Over $21 Trillion in total debt, with a little luck, enough to make this a non-issue until the next election.

Unlimited - Then Congress can finally move on to not voting for gun control and not voting on a budget.
