    I dont know what Aug 2nd will mean

    but I do know if you send the elderly/disabled into the street to be homeless in favor of a tax break for the Paris Hiltons of the world...things will get real ugly in the streets

    I wouldnt want to be a Republican backer if that ever happens

    You should learn to read before typing. It clearly states, raise the debt ceiling.
    Default is just being used for emphasis.

    Yes, you are right. I also meant that both sides need to have some sort of agreements not the legislation itself. Because that will take days for it actually passed and signed. Once they're agree on raising debt ceiling by August 2nd, U.S. automatically avoid unprecedented default

    Good Lord, stop watching TV. The U.S. brings in $200 billion a month, more than enough to pay social security.

    They prey on the gullible like you, hoping people will actually believe the crap their saying.

    But how much are their expenses? Obviously they are spending more than they are taking in.

    Both side reached deal. No, US won't default is the winning bet.
