I think the default is mostly a scare tactic, just like TARP and the Stimulus.
And if we do default, then someone will finally have to make some tough choices with a limited set of options.
It could prove productive.
No, there are REAL consequences....could something good come out of it?..I’d rather not gamble that much with this weak economy as it is. A temporary deal is good enough in my books. I don’t trust Obama to do the right thing, regardless...but at least we’re bidding time and getting someone to back this direction.
