I say to the Republicans out there, congressmen, senators, if they don't give you massive cuts, you're going to have to do a default. I don't believe that they are going to do a default because I think that the Democrats will absolutely cave because you don't want to have that happen. But it's better than what we are doing right now because we're spending money like drunken sailors.
