The reason you can't explain it, is because it doesn't exist.

Please re-read this quote from the OP-ED piece you linked to:
http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2011-0...-ron-paul.html

Quote:
Unless major changes are made today, the U.S. will default on its debt sooner or later, and it is certainly preferable that it be sooner rather than later.
Do you understand what, "Unless major changes are made today" means? Let me try re-phrasing it for you: It means that we DON'T have to default...IF we make major changes now. He says the same thing in the video, so there is no flip flop.

The reason you never heard back from me, is because you never asked me the question. I don't believe anyone can know 100% what the consequences of a default will be. Where did I make such a ridiculous statement?

I never said the video was an op-ed piece. I assumed you would understand I was referring to the Bloomberg OP-ED piece. I then proceeded to post a quote from it where he also states that there is no need to default. Remember that quote? Did you even read it?
