plus we are not even broke! the first thing is jobs, we are in a recession we have a Jobs deficit ....and then yes, we must address the deficit .. long term .. BUT for GOODNESS sake IF we would just let the bush tax cuts relapse .. OUR deficit would be cut in half in a couple of years ......
Search any news source on the web and you find stories about the debt ceiling crisis listed in the "Politics" category... unfortunately, that is exactly what it's all about - 60% of the pols in Congress are millionaires; millionaires are typically not effected by ups/downs of the economy and won't be effected if we default; Mr. & Mrs. Main Street will be effected.
