common sense is clearly lacking( the debt ceiling)

Simply put, invidually , we wouldnt want to default and negatively affect our own personal credit ratings now would we? So why in the hell are the republicans trying to sell america this bill of good that its ok to default and adversely affect that nations credit rating? Is their common sense so truly lacking? Or are they , yet again, insulting our intelligence in order to secure power over America  and Americans! In the words of Larry the Cable Guy, GETTRDONE!!! This is way too important to be used as a political football! So save the voodoo economics republicans, listen to the experts, and raise the damn debt ceiling!!!!
