The Economist -- a conservative publication -- editorialized the following about the congressional Republicans and their grabassery on the debt ceiling. (I still can't believe we're debating this!)
And the closer you look, the more unprincipled the Republicans look…. Both parties have in recent months been guilty of fiscal recklessness. Right now, though, the blame falls clearly on the Republicans.
Of course I disagree about the "both sides" meme but the fact remains: the Republicans are gambling with our individual livelihoods and the well-being of the world economy, and they've admitted their desire for economic failure.
Investigations? Anyone?
