One reason it is hard to get too worked up over the #DebtCeiling is it will completely destroy the actual people Congress cares about: the rich and the companies they run.

I just cannot fathom a world in which the corporate rulers who bribe Congress legally allow their purchased house members and senators to do this. Maybe I’m wrong but it reeks of theater.

I think you underestimate just how incompetent US government officials are.

It reminds me of the sequester deal Obama made, that he didn't expect to ever take effect... until it did.

We keep electing morons, so even if Congress cares about the rich and the companies, they're generally too bad at their jobs to do them well even in corrupt ways.
