I disagree. It is the place for this discussion because the debt - and its legal ceiling are the direct result of unchecked spending far and above the revenue the government receives.....it is not a perfunctory formalization to pay debts we alreay owe; it is an admission that we are about to and will again commit to MORE DEBT! Refusing to raise the debt limit then forces the government to live within its means.

If that means that a few, or several agencies have to go out of existence, then so be it. If it means that some of the 40% of the people in this country who don't pay taxes have to, then so be it. If it forces a large portion of the people on EBT, EITC, AFDC, WICs, SCHIP and the hundreds of other supplements to go out and work, then so be it....

Well...then we better be prepared to put on our big boy pants and face the consequences...and here they are:

1) The media and the dems will sucessfully spin the crash that will ensue...and it will happen. You cannot immediately take $100 Billion a month out of the system and not crash the economy. That's a lot of workers...etc. That's a lot of 401K.

2) You better be prepared for another 4 years. 3) You better be prepared for a democratically controlled house and senate.

You see...not everyone in this country is a Freeper. They don't 1) understand the issue...2) Understand teh need to suck it up now to avoid catastrophe later. All they will know is "this sucks and everything I hear is its the GOP's fault...especially THAT tea-parties"

You can disagree with that all you want...but that IS what will happen. If you think it will unfold any differently...I suggest you get out more...take a gander at who is actually inhabiting this little land of ours...and then take a look at who they actually voted for. Remember...these people that so many Freepers have faith in to do the right thing and understand the debate...and that what we are doing is right...are the same people that 1) Put Obama in office...2) Have 53 dem senators in the Senate...re-elected Harry Reid...and 3) Re-elected almost 200 house members who put their full support behind San Fran Nan.

And if you think this country of knuckle heads won't listen to the MSM and these dems spin a collapse (and it will be...don't kid yourself...we are almost there even WITH 100 billion a month) as OUR fault? Well...get out more and go meet some of these air heads.
