I think we are headed for the cliff and the teabaggers are driving
I don't believe the Wacka doo Teabaggers will vote to raise the debt ceiling no matter what!

It's pretty clear that they want to drive the car over the cliff.
When Bohener can't even get his crappy bill passed you know these wacko's just want to fuck us all.
It's insane even McCain is calling them Bizzaro. I just saw several adds were these teabagger congressmen pledge they will not support a bill to raise the debt ceiling period regardless what is tied to it.

So I think we are headed for default. Be prepared to go over the cliff.

1. As Josh Marshall put it - "Yes, at some level it's a game of chicken. Something
we can all understand pretty intuitively in human nature and game theory terms. But to really get what's going on you've got to understand one key point: one of the two cars doesn't have a driver in it. Which changes everything. "

4. That's kind of the point. If no one is driving, there is no one to turn at the last minute.
Republicans are fine with that. Democrats aren't.

3. The teabaggers want to destroy government
A default will make it more difficult for governments on all levels to borrow funds to operate. Cut backs will be necessary, as we are already witnessing. The media created this teabaggers monster and now it is out of control. Their crazy costumes and outrageous accusations are no longer amusing. The large majority of sane Americans have to speak up and say "enough" and hold the repubs responsible for unleashing this scourge on us.
