it'll be easier to stab you all in the back if you close ranks in front of me, thanks:
I’m almost starting to believe Stupid Party vs. Evil Party. The elected officials on both sides are evil, but one base digs in and fights while the other vacillates between interpreting betrayal as 11-dimensional chess and interpreting betrayal as virtuous, healing compromise. Clearly, one base is stupider than the other.
In 11-dimensional chess land I figure the President is just playing along and giving the teabaggers exactly what they want, good and hard. Lucky for us they don't seem to realize that he's one of them, and won't accept a carbon copy of their own demands.
Between an actual default of some kind now or kicking hundreds of millions of future retirees down the stairs I think I'd prefer the default. Maybe if we bring on the next inevitable financial crisis on purpose, ahead of schedule, and entirely due to Washington refusing to issue checks, the asshats in Washington will have a harder time bailing out the financial sector and actually be forced to put it back in its place, in coach rather than the cockpit. I don't see any potential upside to shafting future me and future you.
