re: #438 Justanotherhuman

This is Boehner’s and the Rs’ version of “chicken” and they’ve already lost, so they wants the country to pay for it.

They have already hurt themselves badly so far; allowing a debt default would be catastrophic for the GOP, and Boehner knows it. Even if it costs him his speakership, I do not believe in the end he will allow a debt default. His final attempt to mollify the Teahadis has failed, just as his final proposal on the fiscal cliff failed last December. Now, like last December, he has no choice but to waive Hastert and allow the vote.
