What happens if they don't extend the debt ceiling by Aug 2nd? Really?

Your question can really be answered in two different ways, and both are probably correct.

First, "what happens out of necessity on Aug. 2nd??" The real answer is nothing. August 2nd is an artificial date that could easily be postponed by magical bookkeeping, a time honored tradition in Washington. If truth be known, we have in all probability already surpassed the supposed "debt ceiling" so what would a few more days or weeks mean? -- the answer is nothing.

The second answer is a bit more tricky, because we are dealing with the naked political aggression of barak "never let a good crisis go to waste" obama, who is in full campaign mode. obama could care less what harm he causes to the United States -- the truth be known, in the depths of his heart the more harm the better. The problem is that he will use the Aug 2nd date to create a real crisis by executive order, halting payments to SS recipients, the military, and anyone else he knows the public will rise up in anger over, all with the intent of casting the blame on the republicans for causing the problem. The union thugs and the media will fully support him, of course, being 100% invested in the outcome of his political future.

Will he overplay his hand?? There is no way to know. So far, the people of America have been willing sheep being led to the shearing pits, so I would not bet against him. But to the extent he succeeds, the outlook for our country grows ever more grim.

It is painfully clear that this nation could not possibly survive another four year term of "president" obama.
