Let the nation default?

Should Republicans let the nation default if Democrats refuse to negotiate?

  • Yes, if the Dems won't talk, we should default.

    Votes: 30 47.6%
  • No, we should never default on our debt.

    Votes: 33 52.4%

  • Total voters

The Senate will of course vote on the House bills to raise the debt ceiling.

Will the House vote on the Senate bills?
 
In just under a week Boehner has finally caved to the radical right wing and decided to put the nation's faith and credit at risk.

Republican House Speaker John Boehner vowed on Sunday not to raise the U.S. debt ceiling without a "serious conversation" about what is driving the debt, while Democrats said it was irresponsible and reckless to raise the possibility of a U.S. default.

"The nation's credit is at risk because of the administration's refusal to sit down and have a conversation,"





Senator Ted Cruz, who has been the standard-bearer for Republican opposition to funding the government without measures to undercut Obama's healthcare law, told CNN that Congress frequently in the past had attached curbs on spending to votes to raise the debt ceiling.

Democratic Senator Charles Schumer told ABC's "This Week" he did not believe Boehner would let the nation go into default, as it would lead to chaos on financial markets, freeze lines of credit and cause a jump in interest rates.

So there you have it. Since Obama will not "talk" to him about unfunding a legally passed law, Boehner is willing to sink the entire nation's credit.

The GOP is like a bunch of whiny fucking kids. :funnyface:

Is it any wonder the GOP got their asses handed to them in 2012 and will again in 2014 and 2016?

.

They have become a party of extremist. Won't consider them again.
 
Jeasus H. Krist, is the low information radical left so stupid that they think the administration that controls 2/3 of the federal government can't prevent the freaking government from going into default? When he was senator Barry Hussein voted against raising the debt limit during the Bush administration..

The Democats control half of the House and the Senate.

They don't control the SCOTUS.

That means the Dems control 1/2 of the govt.

Or if your credit cards are maxed out do you have then raise your limit so you can borrow more money you haven't been able to pay back previously?

going to an immediate balanced-budget would be too damaging to the USA.

that's unless we can cut Defense by 2/3rds. :)
