Well, it's possible I have erred, or exaggerated your position regarding spending. But given the size of the deficits the US is running under the leadership of your man Obama, I consider encouragement to NOT meaningfully discuss spending control measures and instead, choose to add additional spending measures as "unbridled spending".

I might also make the observation that I don't think anyone here (Dave) is minimizing the potentially damaging effects of a default. What I read is some are pointing out that the risk of default in the near term is exceeding low, and posting the reasons why.
