    A poll says 51% of Americans believe raising the debt limit by the deadline is "essential." Do you agree? #DailyChat http://usat.ly/16N6Cq2

        @USATODAY I don't agree with default..but we keep raising the debt limit and spending spree continues.. The spending needs to be dealt with.

        @USATODAY not raising doesn't mean defaulting. It means no additional debt, no? If my understanding is correct then no I don't agree.

        @USATODAY That would be the average and above part of the national I.Q. - anyone who thinks it's fine to default just isn't smart.

        @USATODAY With those close percentages it would suggest to me that perhaps we Americans are not exactly sure what would happen either way.
