Unstable, Petty and Dangerous

Republicans are openly identifying as the party of economic instability, danger and pettiness.

It used to be that politicians would run from the brand of economic instability; but no more.

House Republican Budget Chair Rep. Jodey Arrington (R-TX) said that his party’s tactic of using the debt ceiling as a bargaining chip could not only turn dangerous, but it has to turn dangerous.

@andrewrsorkin: “The question that I’d ask you is whether you think this debt ceiling is going to be used as a bargaining chip in a way that could turn dangerous?”

House GOP Budget Chair @RepArrington: “I believe it will and I believe it has to.”
