SallyRand obviously knows as much as he has been able to read then cut and paste from various disparate sources.

Word on the street is that there are less than 300 million of you in the USA and Billions of people in the other countries you like to disparage so much with your racist flapping.

You see your simplistic arguments fail to take into account that worldwide Market Forces dictate the breadth and scope of what the US Congress can do economically. The USA like every other country on the planet has to work within certain parameters to be able to manage the economy.

The US is in a bind at the moment, it has the choice of raising the debt ceiling or default. Obviously default is not really an option for a larger developed economy like the USA because unlike Greece, the USA controls a larger debt to GDP ratio than Greece is allowed.

The machinations of the US congress, the brinkmanship of parties in the US political system, almost always leads to eventual compromise, this time will be no different. The US will not default, a bipartisan deal will be struck and the US debt ceiling will be raised.
