In the past we managed to avoid the worst consequences of right-wing attempts to bring the government to a halt and to default on our debt. Honestly, I have no confidence that we will prevail this time. And the consequences will be severe--not only for this country, but for the global economy. These Republican clowns don't care. They seem to think it's a game. They seem to think that their constituents will be happy--when we fall into a massive recession or perhaps even a depression. Not discounting all the fears I had while trump was in office...I am as afraid for the country as I have ever been. Whatever happens next in the House of Representatives is going to be ugly. And we the people, of the US and of the world, will suffer the consequences of their idiocy.

Evelyn, thank you so much. I am grateful for your comments and thoughts. It's really helpful to hear what resonates, and reaction. I agree with you on all of that. And it lines up with what I've heard from several of the pundit types, too. Genuine worry, fear, trepidation, and concern seems to be out there on this thing. Take care - Vanessa
