We finally got a look
at the ransom note that Boehner, captain of the 'ship of fools', sent to Obama and the Dems, as conditions to raise the debt limit, which is merely paying bills already 'rung up' by the Congress.
We’ll refrain from deliberately sabotaging the global economy, Speaker John Boehner and the other leaders said, if President Obama allows more oil drilling on federal lands. And drops regulations on greenhouse gases. And builds the Keystone XL oil pipeline. And stops paying for the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. And makes it harder to sue for medical malpractice. And, of course, halts health care reform for a year.

The list would be laughable if the threat were not so serious. Read the whole thing, here

The full effects remain unknown because no Congress has ever allowed the government to go over the brink before. The Government Accountability Office estimated that simply by threatening to default in 2011, Republicans cost taxpayers $1.3 billion in higher interest payments because of that uncertainty. The 10-year cost of those higher-interest bonds is $18.9 billion.

This blatant attempt to wreck the economy continues 'The Plan', which is to sabotage the country, causing political and economic havoc, which is their only chance at regaining the presidency. Nothing new here, but sickening just the same, as the 'Kamikaze Crew' marches on.
