If we default on our national debt, or come close enough that the market demands higher interest rates on our debt, adding hundred and hundreds of billions of dollars in long term debt liabilities for current and future tax payers to pay, it will be one of the most needlessly stupid self-inflicted errors of any government ever. To wit here is a collection of comments from sane conservatives (no, those words do not have to be mutually exclusive, and for most of this country's history they weren't) compiled by Adam Ozimek with some sensible words about the debt ceiling compiled . As Ozimek says

I’m trying not to get shrill here, it’s getting hard.
