So what is behind this sudden turn of events... Wall Street!
The suicide mission of the Republican Party just got a whole lot more interesting yesterday when one of the largest hedge funds sold all of its US Treasury bonds because of the impending default... and a run on US Treasuries would actually bankrupt this nation!
The Wall Street plutocrats freaked out, including the Koch brothers because they realized they could lose BILLIONS... if the loony tune Teabaggers they paid to get into congress are stupid enough to actually push the US over the edge.
We have had Rand Paul, Tom Coburn, and the rest of the crazies saying that the default is no big deal... and the Koch brothers realized... they wanted to run the economy and rule the government... not destroy it.
Maddow connects all of the dots better than any other report on this...

Now the division within the GOP could not be more apparent between the financial plutocrats and the lunatic Teabaggers. The irony of course is that the Koch brothers and the rest of the plutocrats actually funded the Teabaggers because they thought they could use looney tunes to do their corporatist dirty work.
The problem for the GOP, as one analyst put it is,"Once you invite crazy people into your house... it is really hard to get rid of them!" and there is no telling what they will do. Not since Chairman Mao had his minions waving his "Little Red Book" of crazy crap have we seen a nuttier bunch of ideologues more hell bent on a self-destructive course. Their actions in China killed millions and nearly destroyed the country... now the question is what will our own crazy Teabagger zealots do to this country?
