I might have felt sorry for them had they not walked into this. They hoped to take advantage of the Tea Party — pretending it was a “national movement” of “true Americans,” when in fact it is just old, white, racist Republicans well funded by business interests who want their taxes lowered, not yours. And now the nutjobs they supported are trying to destroy the country. If we go into default, the cost of our national debt will go WAY WAY up, because we won’t be able to get the same interest rates. Last time, even the discussion of default raised our costs. So they aren’t “fiscally responsible,” they aren’t helping the nation, and they aren’t acting in a sane and adult way. So the GOP has no one to thank for this but themselves.I am beginning to think it will go the way of the Whigs. And should.
