The idea that somehow America would shirk this responsibility shows to me that Liberals and Liberaltarians are dead beats..and as I conservative I have no use for either.

And just where, did Ted Cruz say we should renege on paying our debt?

Please find and post the relevant speech or comment for us so we are all enlightened as you?!

No, what Ted Cruz was fighting for was the same leverage that has been used the LAST 55 times the Debt Ceiling has been raised, some sort of compromise to either decrease the growth IN THE FUTURE, or somehow limit the size of the government.

The problem I have is that the idiots in Washington has shown the world they are so dysfunctional and unable to show any level of competence to govern that they are reduced to playing idiot games.

I'm sorry but Cruz has fell on his ass on this one and shows not leadership but demonstrates the best chance for America's future in my view is stuck in partisan politics and has no grasp of the economic world we live in..
