That's a very partisan definition of, "economic suicide."

That's a very partisan definition of, "economic suicide."
- MattGaiser 5y agoHave there been sovereign debt defaults that haven't been economically devastating?
- smt88 5y agoRepublicans themselves have characterized it as a potential disaster and then blamed Democrats for bringing us closer to it. Also, why would this be a threat at all if it weren't a disastrous outcome?
- rektide 5y agoGiven the 30 year track record, is stunning to think the GOP would suddenly change their opinions on debt & have anything to cry about. That seems like the definition of partisanship, to me: protesting someone doing exactly what you have been doing. https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2012/10/gop-presidents-have-been-the-worst-contributors-to-the-federal-debt/264193/ https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2012/10/gop-pre... As for this being economic suicide, I don't know. But I feel like there's been enough malarkey & I'd like to avoid more senseless chaos if we can.
