I do not expect to die if the US defaults on its debts. That said:
If Republicans succeed in underming the full faith and credit of the United States I will simply be one more American likely to witnesss the willfull surrender of American preeminence. Maybe, if that keeps us from sticking our noses and armies into other nations, that will be a good thing.
Bad faith and credit and curing homosexuality are about all that Congressman Michelle Bachmann offers the nation. BTW, after hearing her husband I suspect he is a repressed gay man. If so, perhaps Michelle “cured him” and now he’s returning the favor by curing others with the help of some hefty federal subsidies.
PS. to my email buddy/gadfly/critic: I’m sorry about conflating Michelle Bachmann’s effort to keep gay people in sterile bottles and her drive to undermine America’s economy. My only defense for said conflation is my sense that people who believe one asinine thing are more likely to believe other asinine things. I’m not so sure that this is what we need in the Oval Office!
Alexander Hamilton is probably spinning in his grave.
