Yet? I didn't know that was my job, but I did manage to show that not raising the debt ceiling will make the debt impossible to pay off. I'd think that sufficient to answer you question.
Even though the amount of debt has exploded, the low interest rates has kept the cost of servicing the debt very low. But those interest rates will go up substantially if we default. This will exponentially increase the cost to service the debt.

Even now, the ludicrously childish House Tea Partiers are making it more expensive to borrow money. The net effect is an INCREASE in government spending.
Of course they want to waste more money that is how they plan on destroying America and recreating it in the billionaires image. A country of Serfs and Lords.
