I kind of hope so, just to see what will happen. The debt crisis isn't as big as EU's though. However, it if does fail, it will be huge & probably hurt the world economy. Obama seems to have been talking to the American people, which i like, haven't seen any of it though, but atleast it keeps us in the loop. It seems the Republicans are to blame...again (when aren't they ). They signed something ( stupid) forbidding them to raise taxes. One of their ideas, is to keep saying no, but it will still get passed, due to them (republicans) not having enough votes to undo it and Obama can sign it. Which means, Obama will get what he wants & republicans can say, "well, we stuck to our guns".
I wonder if it gets so bad, maybe, and thats a big MAYBE, they will put politics aside abd do something good for the US people.
