Raising the Debt Ceiling

Tea partiers, What the fuck is wrong with you? You're about to cause the US treasury to default on its loans. Isn't that exactly the kind of shit a fiscal conservative would want to prevent?

This doesn't make sense, individuals take out loans to make purchases like homes because they are unwilling to wait and save to do so, by saying the state is more like a business than an individual you are suggesting that they should not take out loans unless it is making capital investments that result in returns greater than the interest, such as roads and schools. The government's shareholders are also it's customers, so it's pointless to compete with private businesses for domestic capital reserves when it is more efficient to replace the burden caused by competition for capital with simple honest taxation which reflects the true cost of government spending.
