Rachel Maddow did a great segment on the debt ceiling last night. The crux of her argument was simple: this "crisis" is 100% artificially created byt the GOP, entirely for political reasons. This "crisis" goes away with a simple "yes" vote to raise the ceiling. It could happen in minutes. But instead, you have the "rejectionist caucus" (ie the Tea Party) who will vote no regardless of the harm it will cause. They'd rather see the country blow up than back down from their black and white world view.
It's not about spending or taxation, it's about rich white men digging in their heels to play political games, regardless of the fact that the end game could be disaster
