To whom? The Chinese?

And what will they do if we stiff them? Shut down Walmart?

The point is: the debt ceiling is not related to a default. The debt ceiling is to limit Federal Government's ability to borrow (add to debt). If as I suggested 1/2 of the Federal Expenditure is either Un-Constitutional or counter productive, what is the consequences if it is eliminated entirely? The taxpayers are relieved of a burden.

Wouldn’t be the worst thing to happen. Stop the importing, cause shortages, force US manufacturing, make people start opening businesses, creating, innovating...

and

true conservatives in congress removing obstacles...

sounds good to me. /sarc

WHEN we stiff them, you mean.

"-At what point shall we expect the approach of danger? By what means shall we fortify against it?-- Shall we expect some ... military giant, to step the Ocean, and crush us at a blow? Never!--All the armies of Europe, Asia and Africa combined, with all the treasure of the earth (our own excepted) in their military chest; with a Buonaparte for a commander, could not by force, take a drink from the Ohio, or make a track on the Blue Ridge, in a trial of a thousand years."
