re: #285 Killgore Trout

It’s pretty remarkable. The Republican plan is to just do nothing, hand everything over to Obama in hopes that he gets the blame if things go wrong. It’s almost like the Republicans aren’t even holding office, they just want to pass the buck on everything. I think Obama might take them up on their offer. He can raise the debt ceiling, make unilateral budget cuts and let the GOP have their silly symbolic votes.

Personally, were I him, I’d tell McConnell to shove his “deal” up his keister. Either we get a deal that does more than just nurse the problem along or we default. The GOP certainly had no problem with arguing in favor of a default when it looked like they’d come out of the whole fiasco on top. But now that the worm has turned, they’re trying to foist the problem upon Obama, one way or another. No dice.
