The Last Word - Damage done by default threats

1. At the end they said all the extra costs to the government seems

to fade away once they make a deal. I have never heard what the cost actually was the last time they pulled this crap. I know the bonds were downgraded. Did they upgrade them afterwords? How much did it cost the government all together? The Republicans would be hammering on those costs everyday if the Democrats did this to a Republican president. They pull this crap all the time then after a deal is made the Democrats seem to play mister nice guy and just forget about it. The Republicans go in for the kill when they see the Democrats on the ropes.

2. Default & Downgrade

This segment is a much needed reality check on the ignorance of the Republican extremists actually stating that not raising the debt ceiling is OK!!! China's statement that " It is perhaps a good time for the befuddled world to start considering building a de-Americanized world" is frightening. Excellent analysis by the panel.
