Some on the right argue that Obamacare is paradoxically good news: by punching the fiscal accelerator the Obami are hastening the day when people won't buy US bonds for love or money. Already the markets are signalling the beginning of the slide: blue chip bond yields are below Treasuries.
If we are going to have this 315 million car pileup, best we have it soon, get rid of the fraudsters and start over with adults.
Where should the adults stand while all these carloads of blind mice drive off the cliff? Clearly they don't see us, and don't care a whit about the long fall (what a rush!) ahead.
