re: #299 albusteve

my take as well…nobody wanted to be hung with the default, especially a bunch of rookie punks in the house…talk is cheap, but what a sweet job being a US rep, eh?…smart money says they’d fold

Yeah I don’t know about that. The Tea Party Reps have a lot less to be beholden to and they’re the true believers, either in denial about a default, minimizing the impact or actively looking forward to it. The business Republicans are scared appropriately shitless, but the Teahadis are just plum crazy.
