SOO WHATTT

The Washington Post is just another far left mouth piece for Obama and the Democrat party. They love to instill fear by mentioning that the U.S. will default on it's loans if the debt ceiling isn't raised.
The reality is that it takes about $300 billion to service the debt and keep it current. The Government collects over $3 trillion in taxes each year so the chances of defaulting isn't even a possibility.

The far left only knows how to spend and has absolutely no concern about our staggering national debt. One of the main reasons for this is that they know there is well over $60 trillion in wealth held by the citizens and that is there safety net in case of a crisis.

*their* safety net
