Republicans, you lost this debate in opinion polls real bad. Get over it quick. A default on U S debt is a complete lose lose proposition. Give democrats what they want, raise the debt ceiling so this issue isn't required to be talked about until after the next presidential election. Is that 2016? I really think you should put off the public thinking about this again because you got the blame.
Democrats and OBama, get the deal done TODAY! All of you are hurting real Americans and this country every day. If the Republicans want something, offer them something to get the deal done whether that is wiping out the medical device tax or something else.
The US dollar is only worth slightly more than 4 cents in 1913 dollars. Let's not make toilet paper be more highly valued.

Well, markets start opening in three hours. We'll see!
The US expects to collect $2.5 TRILLION dollars in the current FY 2014. Interest on the national debt will be $230 Billion. Social Security and veteran's pensions will total about $900 Billion. Combined that is still less than half what we will collect and the constitution says that debt and pensions get paid first!
The problem is that without more borrowing the government will have to cut back or end other things. Since the press is very liberal, the president is very liberal and the rest of the Democrats are mostly liberal - they do not want to cut social programs, government jobs, agency oversight functions, or give up any of their power and perks. The result is a major press push with scare tactics like the "default" stories and other sky is falling news. The Republicans haven't tried very hard to counter this message, perhaps to retain some bargaining leverage, or maybe just because they don't want to lose any perks either.
Whatever happens, the good ole' dollar, the underpinning and anchor of American (US not Canada) strip clubbing, should be safe for the next few years. Canadians don't make it rain, the dancers up there say those loonies hurt!
The debt limit is just stupid. They should not have voted to spend the money in the first place if they didn't want the debt to go up above the current limit.
It doesn't say the president has to give members of congress a BJ or they don't have to pass a budget and pay our bills. They still have to do it. Obama really doesn't have to do anything as it's not his job as president. The very fact he's even addressing the Republicans is at his bequest.
It's interesting that the Tea Party's defeat in this will be so large. The Democrats(wrongly in my opinion) are now saying unless the Republicans don't refund the sequester, the only legislation the TP passed, they won't vote with them to end it. The GOP has little choice at this point.
If the people who elected the TP gang have any intelligence (which is questionable at best) they'll realize that the intransigence of the house members not only didn't end Obamacare, but they lose the sequester on top of it! They will all be voted out, albeit to be replaced with replacement Tea Party members.
Maybe the new group will realize compromise in Washington is the only way to get things done.
The US is just fucked. We should have been paying down the debt during the boom years before 07. Now we can't do the worker retraining and fiscal stimulus we need because we can't afford the additional debt it would require.
