So we hit the debt limit...

Anyone feel like making a little book on whether or not the debt limit will be raised by August 2nd?

Sure.  Which side are you on?

You bet it would be raised by 8/2?

By 8/2 or whenever the US starts welching on obligations, whichever comes later.  Just in case Geithner was padding the deadline.

I agree with your assessment, but I would be willing to lay 4:1 that Republicans really are as utterly nuts as they seem.  Meaning that if they raise the debt ceiling before default, I pay you $20, but if we default, you pay me $80.

[Admiral Yi]

4:1 I'll have to think about.

Nah, you still owe me a foot massage.

That's a libel.  I don't owe you a foot massage until we're face to face.

That sounds like an awkward setup for a foot massage, unless Raz is more agile than we're led to believe.

I'd go with those odds if I were you, as the conventional wisdom makes it look like the Republicans are intent on flying beyond their Fail-Safe points for the sake of kicking out the President at all costs at a solid 3:1.

What odds would you give me it happens on exactly 8/2?

There are fragments of this post which make sense individually, but taken as a whole the meaning is rather elusive.

100:1.

It sounds like you're saying the opposite.  If there is more than 20% that Republicans force a default, then Yi shouldn't take my bet.
