And the question is "what are you gonna do about it?"
America sells its debt to the world, to investors large and small, inherit in every sale is a promise to pay in full, and to pay on time. The GOP is taking that promise and flaunting the fact that it might not pay on time, and if we pay late once, investors will naturally start to think; maybe we won't pay at all.
America is the bully in town, largest military in the world, and if we don't pay, what recourse does the little guy have against that?
At the end of day maybe we will pay on time, but the damage is already done. We entered into an agreement when we borrowed the money, and now the GOP and boner specifically is saying we may not honor that agreement.
Boner is to blame as much, if not more so than the TP loons. The threat not to pay from the strongest bully in the world doesn't send the right message.
