An interesting take. Presumes that challenging the current approach to governance/status quo is inherently incorrect.

I suspect the Tea Party response would run along the lines of:

The Constitution has been honored in the breach for too long, any crisis we are precipitating is to bring us back in line with the founders original intent of a more specifically limited federal government.

I am not a tea party rep, so I might be incorrect, but that is my guestimate of their position.

Even so, the potential repercussions from the post above are valid concerns. A USA in default would, at least in the next few years, create economic problems. I don't think the "potential world war three" allusion is anything but hyperbole, but I am certain that a default would create quite a deal of hardship -- a notable recession would be a virtual certainty.
