RE:RE:RE:Rand Paul is a noThe question is what? The US is a divided gov't which means the only way forward
is compromise. That means not everyone gets what they want. The other alternative
is default. That is not an option or an alternative because the consequences are far
worse than accepting a compromise and lifting the debt ceiling. Being stubborn will
only cause more hardship than necessary. Once the debt ceiling agreement is done,
then you can fight as long as you want over budgeting. This is basic common sense,
something, that is entirely lacking in political discourse today.
The debt problem is certainly an election issue, no question about it but that could
be addressed at election time, not now. After all, there is a short timeline here
before default kicks in at which time, everyone loses meaning there are no winners.
