I got home about, oh, I don’t know, two o’clock in the afternoon on Sunday. I was exhausted, and I sat down and I started catching up on some stuff, and I got a note saying ranking member wanted to talk to me. So the ranking member called and spelled out the deal here — what it was, and why it was a winner, and the best we could do with the one-third government that we control and all that — and the best thing is that we’re assured now of avoiding default. I remember saying that there isn’t gonna be a default unless Obama wants there to be. There’s a contingency plan to make payments. There isn’t gonna be a default. We’ve got revenue coming in.
Didn’t matter.
The ranking member didn’t want to take the chance that even if there’s no default, Obama says we’re in default, and blames the Republicans. I told you last week that they were operating on the basis of fear, and the fear — the real fear — that they’re operating under is the default resulting in a downgrade of the full faith and credit of the US. They don’t want to go anywhere near it, they don’t want to be part of it, they don’t want to go close to it, they don’t want to do anything that will allow that to be said. So that’s the barrel that the regime had ‘em over. Everything else was almost inconsequential. That was the thing that was animating them. Yeah, so tomorrow is Default Day. Tomorrow. You know, this is Ramadan. That was default day one: Ramadan.

GOP Feared the Public Would Blame Them for Default and Vote Them Out
If the US gets downgraded it’s because there is too much debt not because there isn’t enough!
