The Republican Plan to Kill the Economy

This Toles cartoon aptly describes what the GOP apparently hopes to achieve with its manufactured crisis over the debt ceiling - a renewed recession/economic depression where in the GOP's irrational dreams it will be embraced as the savior and Obama will be swept from office. Should the U.S. default next week, one can only hope that most Americans will know where the true blame lies and it is the GOP that will be swept out of office. True, there will be many ignorant cretins in the GOP base that will be too stupid or untethered from objective reality to connect the dots, but I hope and pray the majority will see the truth. The far right worries about America's decline, yet they are the ones driving the decline in so many ways.
