You don't need to concerned if you will not be affected by
default of the U.S. Treasury on this coming Thursday.

If you might be affected, you should hope/pray that Eric Cantor
retains his health, and is not delayed in traffic or otherwise fails
to attend all coming sessions of the House of Representative.

He is the only member allowed by a current House Rule to bring
a Bill" related to the debt ceiling" to the Floor for a vote.

Under long-standing House rules, any member of the chamber
can bring a measure to the floor. But Republicans altered the rule
governing legislation to fund the government so that only
House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-Va.) holds the power to make such a motion.
