In which case the government would default on contracts or other commitments. Either way, it would create a financial crisis very likely to trigger another recession for which the voters would hold Republicans responsible.You don't control debt by refusing to pay your debts. You control your debt by reducing spending. Forcing the government into default if it does not reduce spending makes even less sense that runaway government spending.
The Government has the income to pay the debt with out a spending increase. They just chose to use the money for other purposes.
Wrong as usual. The people elected Republicans to bring down the Budget and bring down the debt. The proven absolute REFUSAL of the Democrats in the Senate and the President to cut anything and their refusal to create a budget lays squarely on them.
We have not had a budget in 3 years. The Democrats never passed one after Obama was elected and have refused every year to pass one. Including this year.
The House has moved on the issue and every attempt to creat a budget has died when the Senate absolute refuses to consider House Budget bills. And the people KNOW it.
