Will the United States default on its loans because Eric Cantor wants to preserve Tax Cuts for the Wealthy?

Republicans don't compromise. They're spoiled children who demand their own way even when it's detrimental to sound policy. We're only talking 3% here. Tax rates return to 39% for the wealthiest amongst us, not a big deal. There was a time, when this country was at it's soundest and most prosperous, when the highest tax rate was 90%. The Repubs talk a good talk about patriotism but they're too delusional and selfish to walk the walk.
