More than 30 years ago Diane Sawyer did a program that had about a hundred people divided into groups all sitting at tables. Each group was made up of people from all walks of life. Their challenge was to try to balance the budget. Not one group could agree on where to cut or how to increase revenue.

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell says there is “zero chance” Congress will allow the country to default on its debts by voting to not increase the borrowing limit.
So much pure, undiluted insanity in this one sentence. We will not default on our debt, no sir - we will simply borrow more money so we won't have to do that. We will not reduce our spending, let alone think of actually paying down our debt - we will just keep borrowing because someone out there will always want to lend us money.
Any individual who tried to conduct his or her personal finances in this manner would have been driven into bankruptcy long ago and had their most of their belongings sold to pay off creditors.

I hate these people more than I could ever imagine. For 10 years I and my Republican friends have given our life, our time, our money, our blood sweat and tears to deliver a Republican Majority. And now we have it, they freaking squander it, betray our President, mock him thereby ridiculing us. I am truly getting ready to leave this Party of spineless bastards.

If all borrowers could unilaterally raise their own credit limits, no one would ever default on any loan.

The irony of his comment is that even if there were a technical “default” the government would hide it behind thousands of weasel words—payments would be “delayed”, “coming soon”, “count on it”....
Think Illinois state government...

Since government collects its revenues at the point of a gun the better analogy would be a gangster who couldn’t pay his creditors.
In that world “default” means broken legs and then a grisly death.

Mitch has adopted the Harry Reid position on spending us into oblivion.
