It looks like the chaos monkey caucus in the House is determined to test the full faith and credit of the United States by failing to lift the "debt ceiling" and allow the government to keep paying its bills. It appears that the Biden administration doesn't have a plan in place to mitigate the damage and seems willing to play chicken with the nihilists. All this drama takes place as we prepare to celebrate Memorial Day.
I don't see how this stupidity helps either party politically. As Social Security and Veterans checks fail to go out next week both parties will be blamed and shamed, despite the fact that Republicans are the hostage takers. Nonetheless, Democrats will be seen as the feckless grownups who couldn't control the children.
Meanwhile, the rest of the world will tire of dealing with the fallout resulting from default and move on. Dog help us all.
