It's great they didn't destroy the faith in the ability of the US to pay it's bills and crash the whole world economy, but really they're just setting it up so the idiots aren't in charge of the February push and they actually target something they can get at like social security. It was pretty obvious the repubs would be forced to do a deal, their actual employers (the corporate donors) don't want them destroying the market. It'll be the same in Feb.. A big scare, the market will slide a couple of points, you could put on a few big bets and they'll do the grand bargain or something and it'll be easy money so long as you can leverage that few %.
