I agree folks need an outlet, but honestly, this was the only real end game this political theater was going to have.
No one, and I mean no one, was going to risk a preventable default over political theater.
I think we could have gotten more, lets face it, Senate Republicans wouldn’t even hold the line at requiring Obama and the Congress to be forced into Obamacare.... That’s how pathetic they were.
However the end game of not getting much of anything out of it, was always how this was going to end.
I do think, and I know the talking heads aren’t talking about it, that a significant awakening is happening in the electorate, many apolitical types were exposed to just how out of touch DC is with the nation and things we exist for them.
The pivotal image of this theater was not anything that any politician did, it was Vets having to storm their own monuments to take them back from the political elite, who needlessly tried to take them away.
THAT’S POWERFUL! a full 60% of the electorate no longer identifies with any party... And those apolitical types just saw the gloves come off of the big government mind set.
I know a year is a long time in politics, but what was just seen, is not something that isn’t going to light fires in a lot of belly’s who wheretofore had no political interest
If our lives are reduced to continuing resolutions and compromises where sanity takes back seat, I understand folks dreading default but is it better than being an indentured servant, beholden to surrender half their income to a state run by ingrates and ideologues..
The best we could do?
We’ll see next go around..
