Who cares what's good or bad for the government, we should be more concerned about what's good for the people.

the worst thing i can think of happening in a default is the fact that we could become much more vulnerable to attacks from other countries on top of the fact that the countries we owe money to will be pissed when we can't pay them back any longer.
but then again nearly every household in america has atleast 1 firearm and if another country was to try and invade us they would have to go through hell to get anything accomplished.

for the record i don't know shit about what happens when a government has to default

Well. let's see - private credit will dry up, shrinking the GDP, and unemployment will approach 20% or so, amongst other things according to some very learned economists. No it would definitely not be a good thing, for all involved, and you can be damn sure it would affect you guys adversely.

We should confiscate and auction off all of the assets of the Federal Reserve, default on all money owed to them.

This should be enough to pay off all of our other creditors.

Then we could issue interest free Treasury notes instead of borrowing all of our money into existence (at interest).

IT would be extremely bad for the US.

On the other hand, this debt ceiling has been raised 70 times in that last 30 years (or close to). They are only making this one a huge issue because of the recession and the enormous debt. The republicans are using this situation to grab a solid hold of Obama's balls.

My question is. How is this even avoidable at all? I mean the debt is insane
and every time they raise the ceiling it just gets worse. Sooner or later countries
are going to want some return on their loans??

Here's what's going to happen, mark my words right now.

Boehners bill won't pass due to tea party repubs.
Reids bill will be filibustered in the senate until august first.
Obama will use the 14th amendment and raise the debt ceiling by himself. The courts will take a year to take it up, if they ever do, but by then the economic situation would be different.
Obama gets reelected for making a bold move when congress would not find a common solution.




I haven't been following the situation close enough. IMO what should be done is both plans.

Tax the rich more, slash costs to a maxmimum
