they are the ones who offered this threat in the first place.

When was the last time you heard a demoractic politician say they think it would be good for the country to default on its debts?

The right is saying it right in this thread.

Spending more like Democrats and Republicans want will inevitibly lead to a defualt on our debt, but you knew that.

He pulled it out of his ass? Why would you accuse Speaker Boehner of pulling that figure out of his ass? That's the number they were discussing. you know that, right? And they continued using that figure until the Tea Party fucks dragged Boehner to the right of Atilla the Hun - and put him on the side of supporting three debt ceiling hikes with no guaranteed cuts instead of 4T in cuts and one hike.

The 4 trillion in supposed cut's came from the Failures "promise" to make once everyone agreed with him....He made a speech he hasn't submitted a budget.

The 4T that Boehner suggested are in the same boat. In fact, all cuts are in that boat - they won't be having a vote in the specific cuts before the Aug 2 deadline.

The Tea party is doing exactly the right thing holding the elected officials feet to the fire quite unlike the left who strangely think the failure should do what ever he want's despite what's its goign to do to our Nation.

The Tea Party is doing everything it can to ensure that you and everyone you know sees the cost of owning a home, buying a car, using a credit card of getting a loan goes up dramatically overnight. and so far, they are on course to succeed.

The Tea Partiers who want us to default seem to think that significantly higher interest rates are the key to economic growth.

Nobody want's a default least of all the Tea Party who are nothing more than Citizen who demand a return to SANITY in the spending this administration seems to think is a positive for our Nation. We don't have a Revenue problem we have a spending problem its really that simple

Quote for me where Republicans state they "care more about their party than the American people" please.

For the record the Republican party as voters is in fact made up of a large % of the "American people"...

Budget stalemate has already hurt the economy - Business - Eye on the Economy - msnbc.com


That uncertainty is already starting to show up in the latest round of monthly economic data. Industrial output hit the brakes in June, rising a modest 0.2 percent, according to the Federal Reserve. Retail sales and hiring have slowed sharply. On Friday, a widely watched survey of consumer sentiment showed Americans have turned gloomier than they’ve been since March 2009, when the economy was still contracting.

It boggles the mind, but conservatives never seem to be happy unless they're making a mess of this country. How can this country get ahead when public officials and private parties always find themselves in a position where they have to clean up the mess(es) that conservatives make.

Take your pick! The unnecessary war in Iraq for nonexistent WMD. The profligate spending (wars, Medicare part D, tax cuts) that weren't paid for because, as Cheney famously said, "Reagan proved that deficits don't matter." The botched federal response to Katrina. The financial collapse of 2008 after a year of recession.

And now? Many conservatives (including an idiot presidential candidate who can't even pronounce, chuztpah, and doesn't even know where the American revolution started) are taunting financial markets by threatening (even welcoming, in some cases) an American default on our debt and/or a gov't shutdown with accompaning interest rate hikes when they claim to be against taxes.

Hey, ya dumbass conservatives, what do you think an interest rate hike is except essentially a sudden "tax hike" on everyone INCLUDING the federal gov't that won't even go to paying down the debt?

Can conservatives do ANYTHING without making our problems worse in the process? Seriously!

Yes the right is saying it would be good

 

[LordBrownTrout]

The majority of Americans want taxes raised.

What the republicans are forcing DOWN AMERICAS THROAT is their historically failed ideas.

The people dont want it , its BAD for the economy.

The republicans dont care , its good for their next elections.

Party over country

I am not sure how the financial institutions will take it when they don't get their welfare check on the 70 million people, that might also crash them, cause a downturn in the stock market, etc.

Then why did they think it was a great idea seven times under Bush?

 

[CrusaderFrank]

Obama and Krugman have damaged the economy.

Do you favor default?

Obama does. He's already cost us our AAA Credit rating. Maybe we should increase the ceiling to $100 Trillion, right?

Go get the quote?


Your party is saying it will harm nothing and yet still using it as a threat.

In one breath it means nothing and in the next its a noose hanging over the peoples necks.

Your party can not have it both ways.

When Bush was president it was the Democrats, and Obama.... Should we go back more or did recorded history on the deficit begin this year because you can use it as a talking point?

Did Bush have a debt this large? Umm no it took obama a year to bankrupt this nation and all you on the left can think of to do is spend us eve further in debt.
