That might be entirely the case. If so, it’s not what I think would solve the issue.
I have no faith in that and no real evidence to believe it’s true. This is dragging on now for way too long, and not a single person in the GOP is doing shit to stop it. I honestly believe they don’t care about the rest of us, and they would go so far as to completely shut down the government (in the manner you’re suggesting) to make their point or stick it to the other side. These are not really people who are impacted by this kind of thing, so why should they care at all about what impacts the rest of us.
Would it matter if they were already wealthy and connected enough to get cushy jobs if they can’t get re-elected… that’s what happens now a days. I don’t see that public to private sector pipeline among the elites stopping because the rest of us suffer.
I go back and forth between them wanting to watch it burn (so they can commodify the ashes somehow) and they just don’t give a shit that it burns, because they don’t think it will cause them any problems…
