Michael Ramirez Cartoon: The Food Chain
There won’t be any default. “Default” is the fear word to make the GOP cave in.
Rather what will happen is that spending would HAVE to be reigned in. And that’s one thing the Democrats don’t want to happen.
See this Tweet-thread.
Instant classic!
Republicans don’t want it either.
On the “government worker” side, I went through at least two, maybe three, “government shutdowns.” Nobody I knew stopped working, or didn’t show up, just like any other day. The general order was that only essential people should continue to work. Well, who’s going to say his/her job isn’t essential? I think for one of them I was working on a fire somewhere in SoCal. Nobody was going to put down their Pulaskis until the bureaucrats got their acts together. Every time it happened, everybody knew that eventually we would get paid. And even without a fire, we had deadlines to meet. So we government worker schlubs never missed a beat.
Now, I doubt it was like that in D.C. To the paper pushers I’m sure it amounted to an expected paid holiday.
“Default would be an unmitigated disaster” is the ultimate Normie take. While Normie is busy wringing his hands about default, trannies at Target, and Mumbly Joe’s senility, the country is being invaded and the rule of law is a dead letter.
Nothing to see here, folks. We now return to our regularly-scheduled program.
