The problem is, they need to start the process of balancing the budget and then start working towards having a surplus, like Clinton started and handed over after he left office. Then we wouldn&#039;t need to raise the debt ceiling to keep borrowing money to pay the bills. But honestly, if they just defaulted by not raising it, it&#039;d be like going into cardiac arrest immediately with no likely recovery option, the defibrillator would be &quot;out of order&quot;.</p><p><br /></p><p>But we should probably not get into politics, since it&#039;s against the rules, although this topic makes it hard to avoid.&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
