Blowing up the Economy through Default: An Act of Terrorism?

Incorrect. Republicans are simply being realist that the current path is unsustainable. Michigan didn't blow up when it shutdown, your assumption is fallacy.

Not extending the debt limit will not result in a default.

It will result in paying back our loans and being forced to cut spending in other areas.

You know, what the rest of us have to do when we lose our credit cards and have to cut back.

Lets just say that they are being exceedingly unAmerican for the sake of playing the dupes for a handful of outrageously unrealistic special interests.

The GOP will have to work very hard to make all of this go away before the election.

HEY DUDE, it's Obama that has racked up such a HUGE deficit with all his out-of-control spending, entitlements, and borrowing that is causing this mess...you CANNOT spend, borrow, and tax yourself out of debt...so if you want to "BLAME" anyone "BLAME" Obama!!!

Maybe not terrorism, but definitely the worst thing that could happen to us. Oh, and if government gets shut down then every public sector worker will be furloughed and lose their job, AKA a very bad thing.

Government shut down is what the economy needs to heal itself.

Interest rates will actually go down, as they did in last govt shutdown. Because investors need reassurance that US govt is serious about debt, unlike say Greek government.

Threatening to withold little old Ladies Social Security is! & that's on Obama!

i agree .

the sad part is it will hurt the elderly and infirm .

the ironic part is that the GOP , as the enablers of the zionist agenda of greed of wall street , corporations , and the bankers , are THEE biggest sucklers of the government teat , and they will lose out themselves .

the decision to default is made by the Treasury Secretary and his boss - obama.

Fear Mongering lately much?
