I know it will be terrible for the economy if the Republicans are stupid enough to let us default, but I'm to the point where I think that the Democrats need to call their bluff. In the long run I think that preserving the integrity of our system of government is more important than the economy. If we set a precedent that any small group can get whatever they want by holding the economy hostage, then that is a complete breakdown of our system of government. I also think that it might even get bad enough that many of the Tea Party members might get voted out by either a moderate Republican, an independent or even a Democrat.

I always thought that some of the things that a few of the Republicans have done since Obama has been elected have bordered on treason. Wanting the country to fail so you can get your people elected is very unpatriotic, but actually doing things to achieve that goal is treason in my opinion.

I only need AC when I sleep. I prefer not to, but I I can deal with hot weather during the day, but I just can't sleep when it's hot at night.

I don't know how popular some of the promo sandwiches are, but why don't they permanently keep the ones that do well?

Do you think that they will give major concessions again? Do you think that's it's a good idea to set the precedent that this is an acceptable way to get what you want? As I mentioned, I think continuing to give in to "hostage taking" sets a dangerous precedent for the country.
