Reply #5: That's What I Thought [View All]

The Republicans are perfectly happy to let us default to ensure President Obama's defeat. For a while I thought their scam was to demand such concessions on spending cuts that it would worsen the recession, and/or that Obama would lose his core supporters. Now I realize that anytime Obama comes to them with a deal, they will move the goal posts.

They want us to default. There's a wide range of reasons, from personal profit to political gain, maybe a few who really think the bitter medicine in the short term will be beneficial in the long run.

As C-3PO says "we're doomed."
