This is poor timing for McConnel to refuse to raise the debt ceiling. Last time republicans did this under Obama, the credit rating of the U.S. government was lowered. With current market instability, this time republicans may cause a crash in the economy and markets.
Didn't those bone heads do that when Bush Jr. was in office?
I thought it was when Obama was president.
With a Democrat in the president’s office, they would love that. Crashed economy as the midterms approach and an electorate too addicted to Fox News to know who really caused it? That would be right up there alley. Sink the ship so the rats could take over as it’s going down.
It could very easily backfire on them if they tried it.
@snytiger6 one would hope, but as a country a large percentage have no grasp of facts and reality.
