Original Opinion by ekoc (25)

It's a highly debated topic on Capitol Hill right now, do we raise the debt limit or allow the United States to default?

"Of coure" by Natethegreat101 (6)

The United States must default at some point. It's inevitable, so why not quite procrastinating? If something catastrophic comes about, then wouldn't the most opportune time to handle the situation be sooner rather than later? Come to think about it, it seems very akin to pride, how the United States refuses to fix the situation head on.

"Horrible logic" by Vultren (126)

Natethegrate101, I am sorry, your logic is false.

If we used the same logic such as "everyone is going to die" . Why live life if everyone is just going to die? It's unavoidable isn't it?

"the debt" by Teddyroosevelt (45)

if we allow for the goverment to raise the debt limit agian i think its fair to say will just be handing down the problem i know it will result in economic problems but we might consider accepting the credit down grade which will hopefully result in america ending its constant debt spending and start tightening are belt cause all were doing is fueling competion in china who use this system to back there country since they delibrately devalue there own currency

"China Loves our debt" by Vultren (126)

Think about it, they are just making free money and love the fact they are slowly buying the United States, weakening our economy while theirs grows stronger.

It's time we get real leaders in Washington DC that will stand up for the United States and bring us out of debt into a once thriving economy.
