The intransigence of the newly-minted Tea Partiers on the matter of increasing revenue by any means and the proposing of draconian cuts in discretionary spending is disheartening, particularly when Republican economists lecture them on the disaster that will be caused if the Feds default on payments and they disdain the prediction.
If the worst happens, and default occurs, it seems to me that the Republicans will suffer mightily in the next election, including the few moderates who are left and the new Turks. Recent polls show that the general electorate are perfectly willing to assign blame to the party as a whole. Could a complete reversal of the House control be in the cards?
