Heads-up: GOP planning economic 911-plan government shutdown and debt ceiling default this fall

Here we go again....:

http://www.reuters.com/article/2013/07/26/us-usa-congress-fiscal-analysis-idUSBRE96P05L20130726?feedType=RSS&feedName=topNews&utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter&dlvrit=992637

(Reuters) - Another dramatic showdown between Republicans and the White House over federal spending looks inevitable this fall, with scary talk of government shutdowns and default on government debt.


Article picked up on twitter yesterday but not noticed in the media much. Remember that Lawrence picked up on the coming debt ceiling debacle on election night 2010 on MSNBC! So, heads-up:

Judging by quotes from conservatives in the article, it appears that their price for not shutting down the government or a catastrophic debt ceiling default which will ruin the world is the repeal of the ACA. GLWT bastards.

until they get to shut the government down so they can use the manufactured emergency to do their coup, the end of social security and the death of the dollar (so they can use that to buy the country cheap)

This is treason.

He is facing dissent from other Republicans, who think it is a stupid idea.
Yes, they want to shut down the government if ACA is funded, and Rubio says it will be Obama's fault if there is a shutdown, if Obama does not let the GOP get rid of funding for ACA.
Playing hard for the tea-baggers, Rubio is.
