In an already shaky global economy, the biggest buyer of goods (USA) could be making cutbacks. This would be stupefyingly dumb. By playing chicken with the national debt, Washington has already irreparably wounded the US economy. The world depends on the U.S. economy running smoothly. A default would lead governments and companies to rethink their relation to the United States, and this has already happened. One blatant lie is that Republicans and Democrats, the Congress and the White House are serious about reining in budget deficits to reduce the long-term debt. They are not. We socialize the rich when they lose money, and then we socialize their ability to profit.

In Oslo, Norway on July 22, 2011, a home-grown domestic terrorist planted bombs near the Parliament building, then traveled to a youth camp north of the city, where he opened fire on the campers. At least 17 people died this day, with many more wounded. It has been called Norway's "Oklahoma City." On the back of this fully-customizable t-shirt is an inspiring quote from the statement of the Prime Minister of Norway in response to this act of terror.
