Folks don’t really seem to get the danger of a default, but that’s likely because there’s never been one in our nation’s history. But I’m sure if you use the GOP’s favored analogy and asked them what would happen to their asses if they defaulted on their credit card debt. Some how, I think even the most brain dead bastard would understand what that would do to their credit, not to mention the shit that will come down on their heads when the debt holders take their asses to court.
