if we do default obama will make sure that Mr. Stewart will get what im sure of is his much deserved retirement and ss check--however every american will suffer because interests rates will skyrocket--that means house loans-car loans-business loans-school loans will be more expansive--therefore once again the middle class folks will suffer which in my opinion is exactly what the extreme right wants so they can try to get rid of obama--the right continues to sacrifice the middle class to protect the rich who they say are the "job creators"-- I am a business owner and exactly what the right considers is a "job creator"--in no way shape or form does what i pay in taxes determine if i create jobs--consumption is what creates jobs--people consuming my product is what stimulates job creation not if I have to pay an extra 2-3% in taxes--the majority of consumption in this country comes from the middle class--the middle class indirectly creates jobs in this country not the top 2%--expecting the middle class alone to balance the budget will kill consumption, business and jobs
sorry for such a long rant
