I'm not so naive as to say they WONT come up with a deal, you never say something can't happen unless it's physically impossible, lest you be cut short at the knees by someone else who'll believe otherwise at your cost.
That said; either way the unsustainability of the USA has long since come to a head, now we must face the music and make hard choices.
Choices I don't think politicians are capable of making.
She's dropped in 10 days what she made after the last down leg about a month ago, and with GDP downgrades, etc, I really don't see this lasting much longer. That which is unsustainable will cease to exist; one notion I still hold dearly.
