The GOP’s Economic Terrorism

USA Today editorial: “Republicans’ obsession
with overturning ObamaCare is getting sillier and more dangerous at the
same time. Now that they’ve failed to kill the law every way the rules
allow — in Congress, the Supreme Court and in a presidential election —
the opponents are taking hostages and, in effect, threatening to shoot
them if they don’t get their way. Unfortunately for everyone involved,
the hostages are the federal government and the U.S. economy.”

Charlie Cook: “Republicans eager for a fight need to realize that some things are not
to be trifled with. A nation that does not pay its bills and fails to
meet its obligations for spending is hardly following a conservative
approach to fiscal policy.”
