If only there were more, I tip my hat to the brave few who seek to face the music, lance the boil and begin our national healing.

Apparently you celebrate the deniers, spendthrifts and tyrants, might I ask why exactly?

Good for them at least we know who truly cares for the people and we know who wants the people to keep feeding off the governments nipple like some dog.

Sadly none of mine are on that list.

Not surprising since I'm sandwiched between an authoritarian on the left and an authoritarian on the right.

never understood how people think that, incurring more debt helps to get you out of debt.
and attack those who say, you can't barrow yourself out of debt.

go to your creditors and tell them that you want to raise your debt, with out enough income or assets to cover what debt you already have.

Thanks for posting the list Indigo, I was wondering when it would come out.

Needless to say, damn near all the politicians from my crazy assed state are represented on this list. Don't know what to say other than "I'm sorry." I didn't vote for a single one of them in the past and I won't in the future either.

On a good note, we're hoping that this recent display of insanity on the part of the Tea Party will wake up voters across this state. Not to mention that we now have Wendy Davis running for Governor. I haven't been this optimistic for Texas politics since the days of Ann Richards.

NO THEY DID NOT VOTE FOR DEFAULT, THEY VOTED FOR ZERO INCREASE IN THE DEBT CEILING.

The ONLY long term solution is for Obama to stop squandering cash and balance the budget, but it is one that he refuses to consider even to exist.

Pfft., they don't think that, they're only telling you that because they can't offer the truth.

More Debt = More to Syphon, and they know it!

Perhaps I don't understand the issues fully. But choosing to default seems to lack an element of honor.
Just keep government shut, and pay the piper. After that maybe they can open for business again.

There is no fix for this system. Too many people to recreate a system which will not end in the same result.

Even attempting to barter will recreate a system of IOUs and then credit which will create another system of fake money. Those with the most will always want to take advantage of those with less.

How many people would be willing to no longer have access to credit through the large banks, or banks in general. Will people spend their weekend doing the work that the government is paid to do because most of the government is removed. Will people be trusted to do the right thing and oversee each other since regulations enforced by the governments is gone.

There is an argument, a good one too, to be made that access to credit is a substantial driver of prices up into the range where one would require ever more credit. In the absence of credit people will adapt.

Will people spend their weekend doing the work that the government is paid to do because most of the government is removed.

You mean like plowing and grading my dirt road? I already do that. And loads more the government cant be bothered to do. But I pay my taxes. Still not sure what I'm getting for it.

Will people be trusted to do the right thing and oversee each other since regulations enforced by the governments is gone.

Oh no, who will shoot farmer Browns dog for his growing pot in the field!

Asking "how many people" is irrelevant. Like those who would and could would ever be allowed by those who cant or wont to do it?

Which brings me to the question of why not. Why cant they live the way they want and I live the way I want? There isnt a sing

Increasing debt isn't a good thing. But anyone who thinks defaulting would serve to force the government to straighten out its financial house needs to put down the mushrooms. We absolutely need to get a plan implemented to pay down our debt and balance our budget. But that cannot happen as long as politicians are beholden to special interests and big business. Had we defaulted, we would have had our credit rating immediately lowered which would significantly increase our existing debt burden and significantly increased the cost of borrowing going forward.

Anyone who has experienced financial hardship while trying to pay-off a credit card knows the scenario: you're struggling to make payments, you start becoming late (default), the CC company increases your interest rate which then increases your payments (which you are already unable to make). You just fall deeper and deeper in debt even though you aren't charging anything.

This was a dumb idea and did nothing to fix anything.

Uhh What Default ?

Nobody's proving a default would have happened.

It's all slanted opinions.

The Daily Treasury reports might indicate a different story.

Daily Treasury Statements

But it takes an accountant to put it all in normal terms.

The Government takes in more than enough to pay the full faith and credit.

Eliminate the deficit spending, and you stop the insanity.

The U.S. is under economic insurrection.

But then again, it depends how somebody interprets the 14th Amendment.

Do we have any professionals in the house ?

The DTR doesn't list payables. Need both sides of the ledger to support your claim.

While its nice to see that some have the balls in Washington to do something about the debt in the nation, I was one of those that keep repeating that US will never default in its debt regardless of the pony show and lies that even the president dared to tell to the gullible and scare Americans either on disability or SS or any of the other entitlement programs that robs the working class to pay for the needy

I just wish that the circus in town would have lasted longer.

Democrats seems to come out looking good, while Republicans put up a show to their constituents about how much they care, at the end the only losers are the working class tax payer.

But we may get another circus performance in 90 days.

Those people on that list are the only ones who will get my vote in the future. Everyone else should pack their bags.

I partly agree.

Perhaps somebody can prove this out with those ledgers.

It default was imminent, somebody supporting that would have opened the can.

They apparently haven't.

THis is not true.

I had a card with a $5000 limit. Needed to exceed that limit for a purchase. Called the company, did some dealing, and upped my limit to $10k. I only wanted it up to $7k...but thats not how they roll apparently.

If your credit profile validates the risk, the creditor will take on the risk at an interest rate reflecting the amount of risk being undertaken. Its why payday loans have such a high interest rate....the default rate on them is very high (but the scam on those comes in with how high the collection rate on defaulted loans really is).

Wow, look at the list of all the DEMOCRATS responsible for the shutdown. oh wait...its not.
