we owe too much money to spook those who we've been conning into taking on our debt!!!
spook them too much, they will want more interest on for their money...
thus, we end up paying more money in the future.

Nothing. A step backward, as a matter of fact.
Raise it and it will become the standard response every time the economy is in trouble in the future.
It is one of the few weapons we have left to force Obama et al to STOP SPENDING SO DAMN MUCH.
Let the govt shut down. So what? SS checks will still go out. Don't fall for the politics of fear anymore.
