1. Right wing noise machine!
2. Why does "not raising the debt ceiling and demanding spending cuts" = "bringing down the government and/or the global economy." WTF?

The new borrowing took total public debt to $14.58 trillion, over end-2010 GDP of $14.53 trillion, and putting it in a league with highly indebted countries like Italy and Belgium.
