1. I don't think the republicans are stupid enough to not

raise the debt ceiling, and they will force that issue on the tea baggers.

[rufus dog]

3. the problem is they will want concessions

Here is an idea. They get no choice. An up or down vote should be demanded.

4. Wall Street wants the debt ceiling raised

Therefore it will be raised.

2. Who will hold the debt ceiling hostage to Medicare cuts nt

[spanone]

5. it's already ugly and it will happen again in three days

stupid bullshit
