Charlie Sykes writes,

"As the nation teeters toward an objectively insane debt default, it’s worth keeping in mind that this is exactly what the GOP’s leading candidate fpr president has endorsed."

Then he quotes Donald Trump's ACTUAL WORDS calling for Republicans to push the US over the default cliff. Though, as he notes, when Trump was in the White House, he said the debt ceiling shouldn't be used as a negotiating wedge.

@wdlindsy My take is this is win-win for the multi-billionaire oligarchy staking the GOP debt crisis.

If the Dems cave, the oligarchy advances its goal to punish the poor and degrade the federal government.

If the USA defaults, prices will collapse on trillions of dollars worth of public and private assets that the oligarchs can then buy for a song, further tightening their control over the global economy.

Win-win for the rich is lose-lose for the world.

@JBShakerman I very much agree. At the same time, I think many corporate executives also know the Republicans are playing with fire and businesses — and all of us — will be badly burned if they crash the economy.
