Maybe you're not aware of this, but under Obama the country's credit rating did already go down. It happened, not under Cruz, but Obama. Maybe you don't know this either, but the federal government shuts down every weekend, and it has never resulted in the end of the world. Between 1976 and 2013 there have been 17 government shutdowns due to government budgetary disagreements. Please tell me which one has led to Armageddon.
It seems as if you don't see what not raising the debt ceiling actually meant. It
seems that way. It was a very serious situation that threatened national security itself. This is because the US military relies on US financing for funding. If the US Government runs out of money, the US military would be crippled. That is a danger to the security of the United States, and that's just the military aspect. Interest rates on US bonds would've skyrocketed to coax in more buyers if the US credit rating had crashed. This would've shut down
all economic activity. We would've seen bigger and more massive lay offs than the hundreds of thousands per month that Barack Obama was confronted with in 2008. It is possible that we could have also seen deflation and a crash in the very value of the dollar. Eventually, the prices of goods would skyrocket to compensate, but no jobs anywhere to pay for anything. Riots in the streets. Looting.
Ted Cruz is a little child that was playing with fire.
His reckless cold blooded actions are why many mark him as a foreigner, not American.
