“If it were done, when ’tis done, then ’twere well it were done quickly.” – Macbeth

Analogizing raising the debt ceiling to commiting murder is probably not the best way to go here, but the underlying sentiment is still accurate.  We need to raise the debt ceiling, so just get it done already, and quickly!  My favorite media comment on this came from NPR the other day, where Jim Kessler said:  “You can cheat on your spouse and maybe your marriage will survive, but your marriage will never be the same again. And you can default on your debts as a nation and your country will survive. But the way your country is viewed will never be the same again.”
