The GOP Will Default On The Debt To Get Their Way.

I do think the GOP will default on the debt limit to get their way. Ryan made it clear that they believe Obama will agree to end Obamacare to save the country from depression. They want to stop the sign up and implementation.

They're playing Russian Roulette with a fully loaded gun.
If there are any adults left in the GOP, they need to shut these clowns down.

Is it possible to impeach these conspirators?

Mint a trillion dollar platinum coin, deposit it into the US govt checking account, and pay all bills due. Perfectly legal.

I think he actually said that verbatim yesterday or the day before. If he needs to do something drastic to avoid calamity I am sure he will and deal with the fallout later.
