I'm sure some of you would have been happier if you could have said, "Well we sunk the USA, caused a worse recession than Bush BUT we sure showed that Obama".
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?

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.
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).

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.

In short...because those that cheered and voted for default were not brave, they were vitriolic, irrational extremists, exploiting ignorance and anger for their own ambition, willing to punish the entirety of America because America didn't align with their purported minority view.
S&P's has already ran a near term analysis showing the stunt cost the US economy 24 Billion...Not counting lost hiring etc. The TP added to our debt, just by threatening the US economy for weeks.
And those that voted to save our economy from certain turmoil, to uphold a law that all three branches of government affirmed are the precise opposite of Tyrants. They defeated tyranny. Tyranny is not permitting our representatives a vote...And when that free vote occurred, we saw the truth of the people's will and the tyrannical nature of the vote that had been refused them for so long.

So you would tip your hat to a bunch of people who wanted to crash our economy and had absolutely no idea how to fix it. Yeah that makes sense.

Nothing personal...But please review civics 101. Congress holds the purse-strings. They spend the money and balance the budget. Whatever your political leanings, falling victim to propagandist rhetoric doesn't do you any good.

House-Senate budget conference to be formed
On their 22nd try, Senate Democrats on Wednesday got a deal with Republicans to hold a budget conference committee with the House.
Setting up the conference is a part of the deal the Senate approved Wednesday to end the shutdown and raise the debt ceiling.
Previous attempts by Senate Budget Committee Chairwoman Patty Murray (D-Wash.) to get unanimous consent for the conference were thwarted by a handful of Republicans.
