There you have it folks. Some of them are going to toss the US down the tank, crash the economy and then use it for their own petty Tea Party political machinations.
Also, have you guys noticed how Boehner is disagreeing with this course of action not on the damage it will do but the fact that the political calculus might not work out.

Quote:BOEHNER: Well, first they want more. And my goodness, I want more too. And secondly, a lot of them believe that if we get past August the second and we have enough chaos, we could force the Senate and the White House to accept a balanced budget amendment. I’m not sure that that — I don’t think that that strategy works. Because I think the closer we get to August the second, frankly, the less leverage we have vis a vis our colleagues in the Senate and the White House.
