If we default.. Obama should be IMPEACHED immediately!
We have the money to NOT default. The default would be HIS choice to try and bring pain on the American people.
One must remember that Obama is the one who has total control over whether or not the bills and interest on our debt get paid. The House GOP cannot actually stop him from doing exactly that. Repeat that as often as possible until the public understands.
No, it just means that our next payment that’s due on 11/15 will still be due on 11/15. And Jack Lew’s arbitrary date will have been shown to be the political sham that it always was.
translation: the debt ceiling may not be raised, and prezzy is not going to pay our creditors with the treasury’s revenue stream, in violation of the constitution
If the Dems make us default- and the media wasn’t able to hide that- the media will say default’s a wonderful thing.
Might be worth it to hear that narrative...
(Don’t expect a default.)
The sky is falling. Repeat, the sky is falling.
Failure to lift the debt limit does not equal default.
Good! We need to stop this illegal welfare state and not pass it on to our children!
The validity of the public debt of the United States, authorized by law, including debts incurred for payment of pensions and bounties for services in suppressing insurrection or rebellion, shall not be questioned.
It appears our "Contitutional scholar" would have to defy the Constitution in order to engineer a default.
But, we all know that he will always follow the law. /sarc

Default! Default!
I have a different take. I’ve never seen this sort of brinksmanship “crisis” get solved before the 11th hour (and the 59th minute). It’s all part of the “art of the deal”. Both sides think that whatever deal they can get now, they can get a better one if they wait. I’ve always seen it work this way. My prediction is that it will go down to the wire and then they’ll breathlessly announce that a miraculous way has been found to crawl back from the abyss.
Hopefully it ends with some Polonium.
Wont default. We have months. Yes, months to go before we even come close to default.
We WILL get downgraded, and that might be enough to push us over the brink through higher interest rates.
We will see war before we see default.
We are living in dangerous times.
There are reports that the USDA will shut down EBT cards in November so if so Obama is recruiting his army.
Mark my words. If we give them ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING THEY ASK FOR, they will reject it and tack on Amnesty and a complete Gun Ban.
default is te decision of the Secretary Lew.’’
If he can’t prevent it he is incompetent.
