If the debt ceiling isn't raised, the bills won't get paid...and we could have a spending freeze/government shutdown.

Personally I think it would be a good thing...

If the government doesn't want a complete collapse of the dollar they'll raise it.

The dollar is far from collapse, in fact it has been rising vs the major currencies. If i were constituents of the euro zone, i would be more worried about their abysmal GDP and the large share of the budget that are going to entitlements and the decline of the tax base.

The total value of net US household assets has eclipsed 44 trillion, i don't think we have to be too concerned as of yet.

I was referring to what would happen if the government defaulted on its debt by not raising the debt limit
