Apparently the Congressional power of the Purse was* “Extortion” and that’s the nicest thing it was called. Was*. Now raising the debt will be automatic [like 80% of our spending] and will require a 2/3 override vote to not increase.

avoid repeated games of chicken

I’m suggesting that when the second game of chicken with conservatives started, whenever that was, was the time to do something decisive. When they didn’t, it immediately proved they were not serious about being responsible.

Don’t shoot first? So what, let the rabid dog bite you a few times? Doesn’t seem to have worked out.

If the clueless think shooting the rabid dog is immoral, then frankly they’re part of the problem. But they’re clueless, so that’s to be expected, really.

“Indeed it is the duty of the sober and responsible to put down rabid dogs. ”

What are you suggesting? War?

I don’t know how you put down the rabid dog that is much of the American left and much of the America media. Defunding the United States Government seems as good a place as any to start.

I don’t think you want to be the one that starts literally shooting first. That makes you the agressor and you lose a lot of moral authority there, especially among those that are cluelessly moseying about thinking everything is fine.

Again I wonder if a business decision has been made at last. The rest being drama.

The swirling circles of wronged enemies, insane choices and events are closing on the Potomac.

Fear camps on the Potomac, they are right to fear.

[…] I still think it is politics as usual, but the increasingly strident reaction of the party organs indicates that some of them are seeing it as politics for real. “Outside In” is therefore analyzing it as a real conflict. […]

Someone truly sober and responsible considers getting into game of chicken at all to be a failure, and will fight to the death to avoid repeated games of chicken. The rational response to realizing your opponent is insane is to stop playing by Marquess of Queensberry rules. Indeed it is the duty of the sober and responsible to put down rabid dogs.

I thus conclude the conservatives were never either.
