Government in default? Are they really this crazy?

An observation about the debt ceiling talks...

Is the Republican Party of today actually crazy enough to allow the government to go into default? Remember, a default would not only be unconstitutional, but it would also cost seniors and others their Social Security payments for at least a month. And it would cost veterans their benefits.

Yes, I do believe the GOP has become that crazy. Just look at the rise of Michele Bachmann. She's leading in the Iowa caucus now!

The Republicans are now crazy enough that they think everybody else - not them - is crazy.

It's just like Brossart sending kids to CPH for challenging them when actually Brossart is who's crazy. It's exactly like that.

If the government goes into default, it may turn out to be the last thing the Republicans ever do. That may well be the end of their history as a major party.
