re: #45 WindUpBird
I’m more envisioning the sabotage of government programs that are relied on by millions of americans creating real civil unrest and violence
Yeah, if there’s one thing I actually would look forward to in the event of the debt ceiling not being raised, it would be hearing the Tea Partiers suffer a collective aneurysm when they wake up and find out that their government checks aren’t coming, that the military they worship isn’t getting paid, that the cost of everything has skyrocketed, and those who are still employed have been laid off due to the economy cratering.
Unfortunately, the cynic in me (or rather, the cynic that is me) knows that all they’ll do is turn on Fox News, get told that all this is Obama’s fault, and become more galvanized in their belief that the GOP is in the right.
