Does any one here believe that if we do not raise the debt ceiling the US government will be in default?

They're just trying their best to fear ^*#@ us all. To top it off, hearing Obama talking about how he's "turning 50 soon, I need to start worrying about SS and Medicare"...HA!

3020,
It is only a few of us out here that are truly concerned about the direction this country is heading. Most are more concerned about Casey Anthony, American Idol, or most recently, the latest Harry Potter movie. It's all political bulldoggin' for the powered elite. There are a few up there that are in the fight for us, but a great majority don't give a rat's patoot about the people "out in the hustings".

Sadly, I'm afraid you are right. I just hope the repubs hold firm, if not a total freeze may be atleast a BIG change in direction.

Boner (misspelled intentionally) will cave I am afraid. Cantor will be a thorn in everyone's side for a while. Did you hear about this recent event? I expected nothing less since she is not in the bankers club. www.bloomberg.com/news/2011-...sumer-head.html By Mike Dorning and Carter Dougherty - Jul 15, 2011 8:16 PM ET "President Barack Obama has chosen a candidate other than Elizabeth Warren as director of the new Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, according to a person briefed on the matter. The president’s choice is a person who already works at the consumer agency, the person said today. Obama may make the nomination as soon as next week, another person briefed on the administration’s plans said. The people, who spoke on condition of anonymity because the process isn’t public, didn’t give the name of the choice. Elizabeth Warren, a Harvard professor, was appointed last fall by Obama to set up the consumer bureau until a director was named. Warren previously was head of the congressional watchdog panel overseeing the bank bailout. Warren has infuriated bankers and alienated half of Washington, all in the name of a new consumer protection agency."
