Cassi Creek:
The United
States is now being held hostage by the supposedly grass-roots tea party
thugs. They fully intend to default on
the nation’s financial obligations. That
this will cause worldwide economic damage does not concern these idiots. To be somewhat more accurate, it does not
concern the Koch brothers and their analogs who have sufficient billions to
ride out another Great Depression while the United States declines from a
democratic republic into an oligarchic theocracy.
The resultant
economic failure will destroy our social safety nets, demolish our public
schools, and strip health care from all but the richest.
The probability
of economic destruction is now so great that the Wall Street bankers and
investors are calling for Congress to end the shutdown and return government to
normal status. These financiers can’t
believe that 80 or so teabaggers will voluntarily and knowingly cause default
on the U.S.’ obligations. Rational
people, no matter how greed driven they may be, can foresee the harm that
default will engender worldwide. There
in is the problem. The Teabaggers and
their base are not rational beings. They
have been brainwashed by the GOP/teavangelist propaganda machine. They now believe that they will save the
nation by destroying it. To this end,
they have essentially declared war upon the nation, the former middle class,
the former working class, and everyone not parroting the tea bagger
mantras.
They now
threaten the disability compensation and the pensions of over 4 million
veterans and dependents. This is banana
republic behavior that should result in the immediate call for impeachment of
the legislators involved in forcing the shutdown.
