Anyone else feel it is surreal enjoying the last couple weeks of regular life while the GOP congress forces us into national default, government shutdown, and economic collapse?
I'm sitting outside on a beautiful evening at my neighborhood Greek restaurant enjoying baklava and an ouzo, knowing that two weeks from now it's all likely to fall apart, and there's essentially nothing I can do to stop it or prepare for it.
It all hangs by such a delicate thread.
Wow, government shutdown? Economic collapse?
All after House Republicans already caved and voted to extend borrowing power to keep it going?
Not only do you have the story backwards, but you're rushing so far in the wrong direction that you're seeing this weird apocalypse.
The Treasury has income regardless of the debt ceiling being raised. It's there in their daily balance sheets.
The hyperbole is not healthy.
