You say you don't want a tax increase (for the wealthy mind you) but a default would likely increase borrowing costs for EVERYBODY. Perhaps you think the middle class is doing great and can take that extra point on their mortgage.
And don't forget that the majority of the current deficit is due to the Bush tax cuts, the Bush Prescription Drug entitlement, two wars Bush started and Bush led bail out the Banks. Bi-partisan problems require bi-partisan solutions and some compromise.
There is a way out of this mess but your Obama hate is just getting in the way.

talk about someone that needs a dose of reality, regurgitate Obama's lame talking points and you sound as deluded, childish and dishonest as he continually shows himself to be
("
Please put at least a little effort in it.-spence")
you forgot to compare him favorably to Reagan
....... I wish he'd "address the nation" every night...even the hardcore Obamorons must have been disappointed in that performance....
