I think you underestimate how much the republican base wants the government shut down. Granted, they don't understand the repercussions, but if they actually shut it down, they'll be celebrated as heroes. And honestly I think the current system is so broken, that part of me just wants them to bring it all crashing down. Maybe we will manage to build something better from the rubble. Or not. Either way, the current system is broken and dangerous and we need to do something about it. >

Defaulting on the debt would essentially, collapse the value of the dollar, drive inflation to new highs, and sink the US economy into a severe depression.  It's not like a budget fight shutdown.  It would actually damage people's lives for decades. >


It would actually damage people's lives for decades.
