Comments on: What if We Don’t Raise the Debt Ceiling? http://www.rlc.org/what-if-we-dont-raise-the-debt-ceiling/ The Conscience of the Republican Party Fri, 26 Apr 2013 21:19:07 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: TMLutas http://www.rlc.org/what-if-we-dont-raise-the-debt-ceiling/comment-page-1/#comment-20637 TMLutas Thu, 28 Jul 2011 19:29:00 +0000 http://www.rlc.org/?p=5122#comment-20637 The only problem with halting the debt growth by not raising the debt ceiling is that it's going to be disorderly. The Obama administration does not seem to have a real plan B of what to do if they don't get additional borrowing authority. What *should* happen is that the worst, least beneficial, and least efficient initiatives get the ax and the cream of the government spending crop continues to get funded. I have no confidence that they've even made a list like that. That means that those in the executive with clout will have money sent their way and those without, no matter how vital their expenditures, will go without. A lot of excess pain will result, putting unnecessary stress on people and political pressure to open up the money spigots again.

When I hit my debt ceilings on my credit cards, I can't run up anymore debt either, and I have to stop spending money I don't have. It looks like the government can vote it's way around it, how convenient! That means they never have to stop spending OUR money! Seeing I can't borrrow any money myself, I don't want the government spending borrowed money anymore. Don't raise the debt limit!  You mean if we don’t raise our own debt ceiling, our creditors won’t lend us anymore money? Hmm.

You can always create innovation, and spur job growth to pay down a debt. Yet, when you default, removing that level of uncertian image--you will have troubles with paying down debt.  At victor by going into default is even worse than raising the Debt ceiling.
