Fearmongering from the White House brings about the return of OUTLAW
Given Speaker Boehner’s (wrongheaded, ignorant, and quasi-strategical) surrender to the progressive narrative about a potential “default” in the event of a failure by Congress to vote for a debt ceiling increase (as a side note, the Dems voted in the minority against a 2006 raise, 52-48, content that the GOP “compassionate conservatives” would do the work for them; the new wrinkle today is the TEA Party conservatives and constitutionalists who
