This can’t be emphasized enough. A lot of Tea Party types in Congress are driven by hatred, anger, prejudice, and fear, but on top of that a great many of them are also really, really, really dumb.
They don’t know how the government works. They don’t know how money works. They don’t know how history works. They don’t know how a society puts and holds itself together. It’s a good bet they don’t know how their cars and cell phones work.
These are the ones who truly believe that failing to raise the debt limit and letting the nation default on all its financial obligations will make the economy stronger and life in the United States generally better.
Basically, they are people who if they’d been members of the crew would have dealt with the water gushing in through the hole the irceberg ripped in hull of the Titanic by opening a hole on the other side of the ship to let the water out.
Amen. Right on sadly.
