    Meanwhile this will occur should the GOP and Democrats fail to increase the Debt Ceiling

    Ordinarily, the government would sell new bonds to pay off the old ones. But in these circumstances, finding buyers might not be that easy. Treasury bonds would have lost their key selling point: a rock-solid reputation for safety.

    "They're the Volvos of investment," says Jim Kessler of the Washington think tank Third Way. "To get people back into Treasury bonds, you're going to have to give them some sort of deal. And that deal is bad for taxpayers. It's bad for the economy."

    To attract new buyers, the government would have to pay higher interest rates. And those higher rates would ricochet throughout the economy.

    "That will affect credit card interest rates, mortgage interest rates. Every kind of consumer debt and business debt is priced off of Treasuries," says Powell. "That's not going to help the economy; it's going to hurt the economy. It's going to hurt the housing market."

    The stock market would drop and so would the value of the dollar, resulting in higher gasoline prices.

    We are really tired of limp-wristed cowardly Republicans who are afraid of offending someone. We NEED a strong willed uber conservative to bring America back from the brink of ruin that Obama has brought us to.

    Source(s): Progressives care more about the "feelings" of Al Qaeda members than the well being of U.S. citizens.

    Citizens to Democrats in Congress: Do not cave to Republicans and watch as the economy will fall when both sides do not come to an agreement.

    If the Republicans in Congress fall in line with the Democrats, then they are not doing what they were sent to do. Screw Limbaugh, the electorate has spoken.

    They don't seem to be doing enough to make Obama scared.

    Because that was the clear message they were sent there with in 2010. Try to keep up.

    Because we'll vote out any Republican who gives in to Obama and doesn't get SERIOUS spending cuts.
