The point... Is that no matter what you think the long term solution may be, the short term fact is that the US can not default on its debt under any circumstances without horrifically catastrophic results. Anyone (whether they call them self tea-party, libertarian, conservative, liberal, unicorn or otherwise), who says defaulting on our existing national debt is in any way a rational option, is either just fucking with you, or fails to understand basic economics at the most fundamental level. Even 'threatening' to default has serious consequences, and the idiots in Congress or the media who are doing that presently should stop immediately.
