Title: Will Rand Paul filibuster the debt ceiling increase pending early next year and default the United States into bankruptcy?

His belief system calls for him to do this even though that would cause a worldwide financial collapse and an epic depression like the world has never seen.

I predict that he won't, as while a Tea Party candidate like him won, all the big spending Republicans won as well. In fact, if this election had truly shown the Tea Party to have tapped extreme discontent with the Democrats, the Republican Party would of posted much larger gains than they did.

The GOP will pressure Rand to toe the line and vote for a debt ceiling increase. And when President Obama wins re-election, I predict much if not all the minimal gains made by the GOP will be rolled back.

Mitch McConnell will control Rand Paul, and the GOP controlled House will be gridlocked and remind people why they divorced the GOP two years ago and turn out to be a blessing in disguise that will make Obama's reelection to be a much easier thing to accomplish in 2012.

Enjoyed the noise made here that there would be a historic slam dunking of a win by the GOP. And I'm pleased to see this did not happen.

Will Rand Paul filibuster the debt ceiling increase pending early next year and default the United States into bankruptcy?

One of the loud mouthed idiots on MSNBC was spouting off on this last night.

There would be worse things than defaulting on the debt. Hyperinflation to cover the debt is one of them.

The Debt Commission is going to come back on December 1 and recommend big spending cuts and closures of some tax loopholes (but no tax rate increases). We'll see how serious the GOP and Democrats are about spending pretty quickly.

Insofar as this guy's other remarks -- he's delusional. McConnell will not be able to control Rand Paul. The notion that yesterday was somehow not a historic election demonstrates that this guy needs to put his crack pipe down.

I hope he doesn't control Paul and this guy does choses to win a battle that will cause devastating defeats for the GOP. It will become painfully obvious to Rand Paul why he can't make this stand to support is 'Slavery of debt' position. And if he does anyway, he will be the messenger who will be metaphorically shot for standing so uncompromisingly to this principle.

Slavery of debt

Paul is 100% on the money. When one generation commits another to work to pay off their spending, it is slavery. No question about it.
