Well, Ron Paul may be right. But he just as easily could be completely wrong. That's the thing about trying to predict what's going to happen a long ways off.

Either way, a default now could be a pretty bug fucking deal. And it isn't as if debt is really a concern of the tea party folk. They have had the opportunity to agree to a couple of plans which would have reduced the debt by trillions. They refused because they don't want to pay more taxes. They would rather the US be a deadbeat than pay a single dollar more in taxes.
