Republican? More like Republican’t.
Republicans took the nation closest to the fiscal brink [[in 2011]]. The GOP’s ascendant conservative wing, known then as the tea party, seized on the debt ceiling to demand stark spending cuts from President Barack Obama, touching off a stalemate that rattled the stock market and prompted a costly downgrade in U.S. credit.
And you know they’ll blame Dems for this default if it occurs. Ugh!
