Nobel Prize-winning economist the American Public overwhelmingly feels that America will probably collapse if the debt ceiling is not raised, but also feels like, eh, leave the debt ceiling where it is. A new WaPo/ABC News poll shows that 71% of Americans believe that failure to pay government debts would be catastrophic, and yet a majority support raising the debt limit only if there are deep cuts to federal programs. The American Dream will now be known by its new name, American Fatalism. Have we really decided that it's just The End? Everybody else's home has a foreclosure sign outside of it, so why not the government, too?
