Did we default? No. So yes, I'm cool with that. Originally Posted by WTFOk, so lemme get this straight.

At least the Republicans in 2011 were using a tool (debt ceiling) that was linked to the problem (how to stop profligate govt spending).
By contrast, Odumbo is willing to hold the military and our national security hostage for reasons that have nothing to do with national defense. His goal is to spend more money on other failed federal programs and return to the profligacy that triggered the debt-ceiling crisis in the first place!
