Crystal ball, tell me, is it time to cash everything in for gold and start stocking up on guns and ammo?

It seems politicians always fight to the very end to get the political edge and then a plan gets passed at the last second. I'm hoping that is just a pragmatic approach to a very difficult political environment by experienced politicians (McConnell's deal shows this very well IMO).

The idealists are the ones that scare me. I'm starting to think many of the tea party republicans actually believe that defaulting could be a good option.
