Would Reagan support tea party Republicans on letting the US default on its debt?

Probably not. But, it's important to understand that today's Republican is not the same as the ones of yesteryear. Today the interest has shifted to doing what is right to doing what is most damaging to Obama and Democrats at any cost. Even at the cost of allowing our nation to fall off a cliff. Senoir citizens, the disabled, and members of the military- take note. You don't get your check in the mail, remember that next time you vote.
