No the House TeaFarty members are not going to let America default on her obligations no more then they would bite the Corporate hands that feed them. Default hurts everyone but more so if you are a large Multinational Corporation or a Global Banking concern attempting to conduct overseas operations.
McConnell's Debt Ceiling Proposal bill seeks to do just that. It gives some thing for the TeaFarty RATpubliCONs to blame the down turn of the economy and lack of Employment on while resting any blame squarely on Obama's shoulders. Forget talking about outdated Corporate Tax policy that rewards Millionaires while encouraging outsourcing American Jobs. Forget about a crumbling infrastructure stagnating the growth of American Small Business. Its all Obama's fault for suggesting Hedge Fund Managers should pay an effective tax rate equal to or slightly above a school teacher on the $Millions they make annually driving up the cost of a barrel of oil
The TeaFarty knows EXACTLY what got them Elected - Criticizing the TARP funds necessary to Bail Out Bush's banking policies. Criticizing Jobs programs necessary to prevent America being thrust into a Deep Dark Depression.
And if Obama is trapped having to "go it alone" acting like the adult in the room when it comes to America's Hopeful Economic Growth, they'll be all to happy to criticize him for that too
