The right wingers in the House can try to take a wrecking ball to the economy through debt ceiling shenanigans and shutdowns but bear in mind:

1) Wall Street doesn't like that
2) Labor doesn't like that, either

As with previous shutdowns, there are veto points on the formal political system when Republicans start tanking the stock market and union workers can't clock in.

@aaronhuertas I'm hoping that if it gets too insane in that chamber that at some point the Democrats will find 6 republican congresspeople to form some kind of alternative. Suddenly, it feels like the US House is a European Parliament.
