Here We Go Again

If the Republicans' nefarious strategy to do with the debt ceiling smells familiar, it should. Yes, we played this same game in 2011. (So I'm recycling this 'toon I did two summers ago.)

Today the would-be saboteurs of Obabamacare don't have the backing of the public. Hey, Obama won reelection just 10 months ago!

But a few Republicans in Congress seem to think it will boost their political careers to threaten to stop the federal government from being able to pay its bills. In a sense, they're saying they're willing to nuke the nation's economy, if they don't get their way.

Well, I can think of no good reason for Democrats to cave in to such outrageous demands.
