WASHINGTON (CNNMoney) -- The head of the U.S. Postal Service said Tuesday that if the service doesn't cut costs and Congress fails to act, it's going to be in the same dire straits as Greece.​

The whole country is Greece, not just the USPS.

If Greece defaults on all its debt and the next day the stock market crashes, everyone will be up in arms about the gross irresponsibility of not paying your debt. Then we'll get things started with the fact that Mitt Romney wanted to vote against raising the debt ceiling

What would raising the debt ceiling accomplish? That's like asking your bank to raise your credit limit when you can't even pay your current credit cards.

Or like the government intimidating banks into making home loans to people who can't afford to pay them back...

Keeps your credit rating from going down for one. The government didn't intimidate banks, banks got deregulated and did what one expects a bank to do when it's unrestricted. Make money in the fastest way possible.
