Taxes and revenue continue to come in at record levels .
This is all BS and Constitutionally it's impossible to default.
I hope the few people in congress that are truly looking out for our future hold fast !

Wow, you've drank A LOT of Kool-Aid.
Buck, the Tea Party is holding the entire country hostage. Bohner has lost control and the PACs are openly threatenening any Republicans who plays ball.
The proposed House Bill that imploded yesterday was more about gaining talking points on the HCB than striking a deal.
Bohner and Cantor need to rally and quick.

Explain how I'm wrong. Something like 200 billion coming in each month and like 20 billion in interest per month needs to be paid to prevent a default. That 20 billion has to be paid unless the President illegally orders the treasuries not to pay it . I believe that's how it works but your clearly the expert so learn me

First off, our total interest outlays are a lot more than 20 B a month, it's like 400 B for the entire year.
Second, you still have the fund the other 80% still running or the economy implodes. We don't keep all that much cash under the mattress.

So your saying we can pay the dept but the rest is unsustainable on the income we generate , which at its current level is higher then ever before .
Sounds like your coming around.
Might even make you wonder how this can work if the dept hits 20 trillion by 2016 ,as projected ,
