You know, we'll just pay the interest, and pick and choose what to pay, or just pay interest, and the cash flow afforded by our credit (the debt ceiling) isn't needed ... Welcome to the consequences.

 Look - I am all for cutting wasteful spending. One of the things I especially like about the PPACA is that it cuts out 500 million in wasteful duplicate Medicare payments to help pay for itself. But we are a country of 330+ million, and we want a first-world lifestyle. There is plenty to re-prioritize of course, and plenty we can cut, but we are caught in the basic political fights of demagoging societal needs and the involvement of the government (it would be far cheaper to all of us to have single payer healthcare for every single person in the country, for example) You can't live within a society, yet want that society to keep entirely out of it's members lives. It simply is impossible by the definition of living within a society. Look to what is happening in Greece, England, etc to see what happens when you demagogue political views over reality.
