The headline in the Times: "Boehner Says GOP Is Ready To Act Alone On Debt Deal".
I guess this could be a rant against the idiocy of our political media, but honestly, does that sentence make ANY sense?
If the GOP acts alone, how is it a "deal"? And if they act alone, what happens to that pesky Senate and White House?
This is really, really worrisome. Because it shows that Boehner has no idea how to pass the debt ceiling increase and so it positioning himself for the fallout. "We had a deal to end Medicaid and therefore balance the budget, but those Democrats wouldn't pass it from the Senate."
At some point, I keep hoping for our Galtian Overlords to come on the scene and kick some GOP butt into line. But at this point - and perhaps for the first time - I think we're about to default on our debt.
Congratulations, Teatards! You've turned the US into Greece.
