So, while we might be up chit creek with a turd for a paddle, remember that the creek is only a foot or so deep. We can just default on everything, claim bankruptcy and start over. Just fire up the printing presses !

Default on everybody? How about the senior citizens who rely on social security checks?

In the end, we will realize that not only do compassionate conservatives like Paul Ryan, NOT want to destroy Social Security,m but that there were in fact, trying to save it. Others, mostly liberals are willing to let it go under, so that they can buy votes today.

"Just fire up the printing presses "

Because that has no downside...
