This is nuts! I don't care who you are, Democrat, Republican, Tea Party member, communist, whatever, if you advocate the default you know nothing about economics, politics, or basic math. You know when America defaulted on its debt? 1790 and 1933. A year where the world was not interconnected as it is today and another where America was in a depression. The ACA is a law. This is like if the Detroit Tigers said, if you don't take away David Ortiz's Grand Slam in game 2, we are going to shut down the MLB and stop playing the NLCS. We lost, we need to accept that and try and figure out how to control the debt in new ways. Not destroy this country, and this party.
We can still pass a revision to this LAW, but shutting down the government isnt the first step in doing this. What is the argument here? Well, not a lot of people like this law. Agreed, neither do I, but I do like my government, ya know, working. You know what a lot of people like? Background checks for buying guns (91%). This is legislation, a LAW that is already in place. If the house Republicans choose to default on our bills we can say goodbye to the GOP, the Tea Party will have won in their goal to kill the GOP and it will be the saddest day in our parties history. We will be studied for decades to come as the party that knowingly killed itself. It was shown the approval numbers, it was explained the laws, everything, but they allowed the dumbest of Americans to vote for politicians in statistically fat, dumb and poor states and America is shown why all of these states are dumb, poor and fat.
