If I can ask the question. I ask, the natural results of what my friend from Colorado just said are that I assume, then, that he would readily support Pat Toomey's Default Prevention Act? What Pat Toomey's Default Prevention Act does is it ensures what the Senator said--money that we borrowed we will keep paying. It says that in the event the credit limit is not raised, the United States will always, always, always pay its debt. We will never, ever, ever default on the debt, and we will take that completely off the table. Then the debt limit fight would only be about, as my friend from Colorado put it, cutting up the credit card for future spending. Would my friend from Colorado support the Default Prevention Act of Pat Toomey, making it impossible--taking default off the table permanently?
