First, I apologize for my remark about the “DUmmie troll”.

Second, I think we just have different opinions about what the COST would be of failing to “support” an increase in the national debt limit, this time around.

Finally, let’s both work to encourage the GOP to pass real spending cuts in their budget for 2012.

Probably true. My opinion is that we'll have to bite the bullet on spending sooner or later, and the bigger we let the debt get, the bigger the eventual cost of the fix.

Just as with individuals, a nation can get into a debt hole that is impossible to get out of without the aid of bankruptcy. I don't think we are that far away from that particular hole, and Boehner's Boner of a Bill didn't slow us down at all.
