You can't take not-defaulting for granted. It's a possible future they want to avoid, and that takes effort. I'm referring to the Democratic Party as a whole. Also, the Senate would be responsible for refusing to compromise, and Obama would be responsible because some people will probably find a way to blame him for some reason. They don't have to fight the Republicans, they could easily give up and then the debt ceiling would be raised. There's quite enough blame to go around. Blame is an infinite resource. That depends on your opinion of the healthcare act.Is that really gaining anything? Why are you phrasing it as 'they'?
The house would be entity responsible for defaulting the nation, first.
Is repeal of healthcare act progress?
