At this point I believe the GOP will bring us to default and they expect to be able to use FoxNews and the rightwing media bubble to frame the consequences as Obama's economic failure. They are focused only on their twisted politics for the 2014 midterms.
It's all they've got left. We're f*cked.
The only silver lining is that whether the default happens or not, Obama will likely end the last two years of his presidency with solid democratic majorities in both houses.
The downside to that (other than the world economy getting f*cked) is the GOP will use their economic ruin to slam the democrats for years, and has history has shown us, the public is gullible enough to believe it. Yet I state the obvious …
The Default will NOT happen, BO won't let it. Under the 14th Amendment, he has the right & responsibility to protect the economy and the value of our currency ! He'll raise the debt ceiling wo Congresses approval. They'll have sheet fits !! and scream Impeachment but I don't think they'll get 2/3 vote in the House ! . . . and they'll be left with egg on their faces. (that is if you can get an egg up their azzes to reach them !!)
