I say let the government shut down. I would be completely overjoyed.It's not that simple. The debt ceiling involves obligations that have already been made in the past on the part of Congress. Defaulting on those debts will have far reaching and damaging effects. It could throw not only our economy, but the global economy into chaos. See how these hypocrites defended raising the debt ceiling under G.W. Bush.
