Ron I'm paying attention to what the House Republicans are saying and what they have said. They have been promising their voters they were not going to raise the debt limit without significant concessions, and it would be exceedingly difficult for them to back off that promise without doing themselves serious political damage. Worse yet, Speaker McCarthy has not just promised his radical members he will hold the economy hostage, he supports it wholeheartedly. The extent of the crisis refusing to raise the debt ceiling will cause is an open question, but it's one I'm afraid we'll see answered.
