Boehner and company are such morons.
The local radio (WBAP in the DFW metroplex) newsreaders today used a phrase like the “GOP voted to avoid default.” So everyone is getting on board with borrowing our way to prosperity I guess.
The word should have been “bankrupt”....
A permanent freezing of the Debt Limit would not cause default. Uncle has enough money coming in to pay the interest in any given month. Interest payments come first. Other things would not be paid, entitlements maybe would be trimmed a bit or the Navy might get beached but that all does not constitute “default.”
Blame the dumb masses who fall for this crap.
No wonder Nancy told fellow democrats, “Don’t gloat after debt ceiling rout.”
Unsurprising that the same idiots who can’t figure out “shall not be abridged” can’t figure out “shall not be contemplated”.
