We need to be really careful. IMHO, Obama is trying to destroy our economy and our country on purpose so that he can institute socialism and president-for-life for himself after the crash. The Democrats don't have to capitulate at the last minute like they have in some recent state budget battles. “Default” would play right into his (their) plans for destruction. He would manage the “crisis” by creating the maximum chaos, disruption, and social uproar AND THEN BLAME IT ON THE REPUBLICANS.

The media would pound away night and day how the brave Obama is managing the crisis created by the Republicans while our economy sinks lower into the abyss and social chaos ensues. It's a win-win situation for the Obama Regime.

We need to dust off our history books and learn how Hitler came to power in Germany. The History Chanel has done some excellent documentaries on the reasons he was able to take power and the methods he used.

You are so right about that.

We need to cure America of its normalcy bias PRONTO, because that is exactly how the “good” people let Hitler get in power.

Folks thought a holocaust could not happen in Luther’s “holy” Germany.

Never in “Christian” America, right? (See my tagline)
