One year ago, Republican members of Congress refused to raise America's debt-ceiling. It was a "First". They did it single-handedly, intentionally and with complete awareness of the great harm their action would inflict on America's economy and the world's. Led by House Speaker Jon Boehner, strutting around full of boastful pride and undeniable malice aforethought, they forced the downgrade of the United States' credit rating.
Simply put, the GOP's unconscionable and irresponsible action led to an inevitable, predictable and avoidable economic disaster. Which was was also a "First" and a terrible one, at that. In fact, the consensus was and is that it was a serious error in judgement that America must never let happen again.
So, guess what Republican members of Congress are threatening to do now, after being called on to raise the nation's debt ceiling before the end of 2012?
That's right, Virginia! You guessed it! They're hell-bent on causing America to go into default, AGAIN.
*Ugh!* We should look up which idiots voted such patently anti-American saboteurs and extortionists into Congress and revoke their voting privileges. Those same people should probably also be prevented from making any other potentially life-altering decisions without the assistance of a sane, rational parent or guardian.
