I’m comforted to know that Nancy Pelosi has insisted on having a seat at the table during that the budget talks and that she has no intention of getting rolled. She’s probably right that the Republicans can’t pass anything without her help. My only real question is whether the Republican leadership cares. It’s obvious that Eric Cantor and Jon Kyl don’t care. And it doesn’t seem like Mitch McConnell or John Boehner care either.
But, it’s still kind of hard to believe that they’d blow up the economy. Just remember, no one ever went broke overestimating how irresponsible the Republicans are likely to behave.
