The only way for the US to default is for BHO to go against the constitution he swore to uphold and defend.

The rest of the world is already moving out of the crash zone. Don't be the last to draw down your accounts and convert to tangibles Walter, I would hate to know you had your PC repossesed.

They needed to put the brakes on spending years ago. Obama inherited this mess, he didn't make it. George the lessor decided it was more important to lower taxes for his friends than cut the deficit or even look at the debt. There are lots of places spending could be cut and taxes raised without causing hardship but the extreme right has decided tha they would rather default on payments than provide health care for the citizens. Unfortunate really because the republican party does not deserve them.

The mess is a hundred years old. The Fed and the US gov was the biggest shotgun wedding in history.
