Dennis Miller addressed this issue the best when he asked rhetorically, "they keep talking about the deficit, the deficit, who do we owe this deficit to anyway? F--k em! Don't pay 'em!"
And if that's not good enough for the Edmund Conways of the world, the U.S. still is backed up by the most potent and precious metal of all:
Weapons grade plutonium, mounted on the tips of land and sea based ballistic missiles. Lots of 'em.
And we haven't even begun counting the inventory of that precious metal on board B-52s, B-2s, and B-1s.
Take a hike Conway, you're outta here.
mk, exactly.
We are a nation. Who exactly do we have to answer to with our 'creditors.'
What are they going to do, stop doing business with the UNITED STATES?
loL!!!!!!!!!!!
This article is ridiculous beyond belief.
You have to be more specific...not sure how much % wise of the U.S. debt is owned offshore, but I have some T-Bills, and I think billions are invested by U.S. pension funds, are you proposing that myself and those retirees lose their investment? Besides a default would shut down all goverment services above actual U.S. income. That could be a good thing, but you know it wouldn't be social pgms. that were shut down.

Just like a person or corporation in bankruptcy.
Brilliant. Destroy the credit rating of the United States. Yes, what a wonderful solution to the problem.

I like Dennis Miller, but when he starts talking about finance, he's an idiot.

God, that really is funny as hell.
Ronald Reagan said he wasn't worried about the national debt, it was big enough to take care of itself.
