    They're really pushing the envelope, aren't they?

    It's cheaper to pay them the benefit at home - no extra costs such as ammunition, missiles, food and other supporting infrastructure .. pay them a benefit and force them to buy their own food ..

    They have a job Paul, they are in the military, thats what they do.
    They wont come home and be forced to work at MacDonalds.
    The US Government spend millions, weekly, just to have keep those troops in the middle east.
    They might as well be back in the US not costing millions (over and above thier salaries)....and get on with what they were doing before they went over seas.

    Hobson's choice for the US. They couldn't do anything else. I figured they would agree to it and reckoned the pollies would spin it out to the last minute to try to make the most political gain they could out of it.

    However it is only a temporary reprieve, they will hit the wall again in the not too distant future.

    If they default, will bike parts be cheaper?

    The immediate impact would be on social welfare/health and the military. The big picture is that if the Government defaults, the US will be downgraded, and their dollar will be as much good as Argentina's was during the war with Britain and then the country may collapse leading to another, and much worse WFC. If the US can't pay its loans off the lender's go bust.

    Very true. I do not imagine the lenders want to go bust either, if I was a lender and relying on the U.S paying their debts back, I would do whatever I can to keep the U.S going. Or just steal their women and wenches.
