If you believe in small government, a default is the very best thing that could happen to our nation. It would force politicians to make massive cuts in government spending immediately, and not in some pie in the sky future. Right now, our government is spending hundreds of billions of dollars on a foreign policy that makes the rest of the world hate us, a drug war that is making drug dealers rich, and foreign aid to countless countries. If we just cut out these three things, we could save hundreds of billions of dollars. However, it will not happen unless one of two things happen -- Ron Paul wins the Presidency or we default.
We can default without cutting social security benefits, medicare, or medicade. Those who say these would have to be cut are fear mongers.
