Do you want the United States to default?

Please leave this in P&R as it is a political issue.

I think I'll start some similar new polls:

Do you want to burn down your own house?

Do you want to cancel your life insurance policy and immediately go out pursuing life threatening activities such as mountain climbing on live volcanoes, sightseeing amongst the al-Shabaab militants in Somalia, or going hunting with ####### Cheney?

Do you enjoy bringing needless pain and suffering upon yourself and your loved ones?

Are you certifiably insane?

Those polls are all effectively equivalent.

Why. There is a whole section just for polls.

Indeed. Of course it should be pointed out that people who self harm are mentally ill and get institutionalised when they pose a danger to themselves and others

I am voting yes, because I hate uncertainty.

Anyone with a functioning brain cell knows they will not default on Tuesday or any other day.

[rika60607 215]

Does this mean that in your opinion US will NEVER default?

I don't understand the question.

The US cannot default since we're not using real money anymore.

[I AM NOT THAT GUY 5,715]

Default? Hell, yeah! Time to get real. We're broke, and it's time to cut up the credit cards. What's the rest of the world going to do? Repossess our I-Phones and stop shipping us oil?

There should be a "I don't give a ######" option

Congressman should have to answer questions like this, with those exact choices for answers.

I assume that by voting yes, it means to stop paying to service current debt. A bit like walking away from a mortgage...thats unethical right, or so i've heard

Yes, a default is a default on debt. Not a government shutdown or a downgrade.
