Debt Ceiling Trutherism

Not sure this is a true conspiracy theory, but shows the power of the 'truther' label...

So what we really need is a taxonomy of trutherism. The basic categories look like this: Oct. 17 skeptics: This crowd thinks the Treasury has more time than its publicly admitting. They're probably right, to some extent. People who believe a debt ceiling breach doesn't equal default: This crowd believes that the U.S. has plenty of money coming in each day, and that that money could cover payments on the debt. This is generally true, but there are also legal, technical, and scheduling challenges that should cause them to rethink their complacency. Actual people who don't care about a debt default: So far it seems like it's only Ted Yoho of Florida who is in this boat.

... but perhaps there is greater overlap with 'birthers'?
