Especially ironic when 3 days ago, you were advocating the economic meltdown that would result from the US defaulting on it's debts.

Obvious that you really didn't understand the situation. In May of this year the GOP controlled house passed a law allowing (encouraging) the president to make priorities in the event of a shut down. It was signed into law by Obama. Which means there is, was, never going to be a default unless the president decides to do it by deciding not to pay the interest on the debt. This country takes in over a trillion dollars a year in taxes and fees. More than enough to pay the interest, the military, Social Security, and Medicare with money left over.
