I, for one, am rooting for a debt ceiling impasse and seeing what happens on June 1. There's no way the government even knows how much it owes, let alone the budgets of all the many different departments, many of which are off-book.

A default will end with more audits. In an obviously opaque system like we have, that would be a very good thing.

It also ends with thousands of people in the coast guard not getting paid even though they work 12+ hour shifts saving the lives of people in distress.

There has to be a better way to reign in spending than putting the politicians failures on the backs of already stressed and hard working Americans.

It's always been there, and there it will end, but not now. They will pass a higher front ceiling. For them, it's just theater.
