As we prepare for FrightFest 2015 and the return of Ash vs the Evil Dead (and did they really kill that guy on The Walking Dead?!), there is something legitimately more frightening on the immediate horizon: default.
The Teahadists have bent Paul Ryan to their nefarious will and yet they are getting flack from their rabid, mouth-frothing fringe base. So they have zero interest in raising the debt limit. This is because they are nihilists. They are so deeply dangerous to the country that they might almost be called legislative terrorists.
Boehner - if he was a true patriot and wanted a gravy train of lobbying jobs - should propose eliminating the entire idea of a debt ceiling. It's a deeply illogical thing, as all the debt ceiling does is allow us to pay for bills we've already appropriated.
But that isn't going to happen. Hopefully at least we will get a raise in the ceiling for at least the next year.
What is worrying is that these deeply stupid, deeply dangerous people have been given ANY control over our governing structures.
No wonder Ben Carson is gaining on Trump.
UPDATE: Looks like there might be a deal between the White House and Orange Julius. Now we will see what Boehner's power MIGHT have been.
