Congress has lost its mind...

[tw]

Never forget what the political agenda says. "We want Obama to fail". As stated by the philosophical leaders of the tea party - Limbaugh, Hannity, etc.

Destruction of America to have Obama fail is acceptable? We have never seen people at a crisis point literally walk out of negotiations so often. Eliminating government welfare to the rich is not even negotiable. That is not negotiation. That is an ultimatum.

Nobody thought that default was realistic. But then we have never had a Congress so full of extremists attached only to their political agendas. Who for ten years have created a recession using tax cuts and welfare to the rich. I am reevaluating this situation to avert financial losses. If the rich do not pay their fair share, then government debts cannot be solved. So many would rather harm America than do what obviously must be done.

"We want Obama to fail" means failure of America is acceptable. Any damage is acceptable as long as the political agenda is protected. Congress has a serious shortage of moderates. Congress has too many wacko extremists. The worst damage will be created by people (tea party members) who openly and gleefully say default is accptable (ie Michele Bachmann). After all, only their political agenda is relevant.
