Hypothetical question: What happens on FR if President Obama folds and Boehner and the GOP stand firm and the debt limited doesn’t get raised?

Gigantic surprise, for one thing.

I’ll take a stab at your hypothetical question.

Some folks will be very happy, some will be very upset.

We will continue to fight amongst ourselves.

The GOP will be praised and the GOP will be damned.

There will be a few deleted posts and maybe a few members banned.

We will analyze and pontificate until the sun burns out and life will go on.... LOL

Shock. Amazement. Mouths agape. But since Cut Cap and Bend Over includes a debt ceiling increase it won’t matter.

Most will say it wasn't enough.

No matter how epic our Victory, the idiots will claim that conservatives lost.

That happens, its morning in America again. FR will set a new record for posting in one day.

For Congress that day may give them the fortitude (once they see the planet did not stop spinning) to take steps to end the US Debt once and for all.

Two steps would be, monetizing the debt we owe ourselves; that would save hundreds of billions in interest payments alone. As far as the foreign debt owed, renegotiating that debt; with all the powers of persuasion (stick and carrot) on the table.
