Place your bets

Do you think the country will default?

Personally, I do not. I think what it keeps coming back to is that the debt ceiling has been raised repeatedly in the past (including over a dozen times during the Reagan years) Suddenly making an issue of it simply stinks too highly of partisan politics, and most of that stench seems to be clinging to the GOP. Will they really be so stupid as to shove the country into default as part of a misguided attempt to try and score political points? I doubt it.
