Default or timely deal?

[lonestarnot]

And if you think default, do you intend to pay bankers the increases in interest rates that no doubt will occur?

[CleanGreenFuture]

1. Timely deal that will metaphorically ram a baseball bat up our urethras.

[lonestarnot]

2. No deal Howie, and no I have no intention of paying interest at 50% or more.

[Andy823]

3. Well

Looks like we have some tea bagger voters here since I see a vote to default!

We need a deal otherwise things are going to get really bad, fast, and I am sure that the morons who want the country to default are not going to be happy when their rates go up, plus all the other crap that will hit the fan!

4. The poll is not a matter of druthers rather a question of do you think a deal will be made or do you

think one will not be made.

19. Not At All

I interpreted the poll as asking what we thought would happen, not what we want to happen.

The teabaggers have invested financially in default, so they will make it happen.
They can do that, and nobody can stop them.

5. Is this prediction or preference? Makes a difference in how one might answer.

[lonestarnot]

6. Prediction.

[snappyturtle]

7. I didn't vote because I don't have an inkling of what's going to happen.

I've never before seen a debt ceiling debate get so out of hand. Madness.

[lonestarnot]

8. None of us really do. Just wondering what we're thinking about it. Wonder if

wagers are being made in Vegas?

[Gunny1]

9. Default because we're not going to get a resonable compromise from Boner or the thugs.

Those of you saying 'deal' - are you prepared to accept huge cuts with no revenues? Because that's all we're going to get from these creeps. Seriously, are you ready for that?

[lonestarnot]

10. The question is not with regard to what anyone is or is not willing to accept. Just a yes or no.

[Gunny1]

12. Well pardon me!

I didn't realize elaboration was verboten in your thread.

In my defense, this is an F-ing discussion board.

[lonestarnot]

13. Oh for shit sakes, I didn't mean it that way.

[Common Sense Party]

17. Lighten up, Francis. n/t

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

11. It depends on what the "deal" is.

Cuts to benefits, present or future, is unacceptable and unnecessary. And, Obama should be introduced to his veto pen and instructed on it's use.

[alc]

14. neither

There's plenty of revenue to cover debt if a deal isn't reached on time. Other budget items will be cut. Obama will pick items that get the most media attention with blame of the house and repubs will need to make a deal. But neither side is going to budge before some government programs are suspended and people start complaining about lost services or benefits.

[mmonk]

15. Neither. We can raise the limit as we have done before.

[bigwillq]

16. Just raise the limit.

Right now, it's all about political games. And it stinks.

[blkmusclmachine]

18. It's Guaranteed to be a bad deal.

A very, very bad deal.

[AndyTiedye]

20. After The Teabaggers Throw Us Into Default…

…they will be able to demand even more.
