There are a lot of doubting Thomases who think the US will not be able to reach an agreement about increasing the Govt's debt ceiling.
The Republicans, who are bargaining hard, also have taken a tough stand on this.
But I feel, they as well as the Democrats will not have the guts to push the world economy to another catastrophe which will certainly come about if the US govt. defaults. The Republicans will be surely blamed for it. I don't think they will be happy at the prospect.
Therefore, after the tough posturing, 'AALL IS WELL' will be sung.
