As we move closer to October 17th's debt limit deadline, Speaker Boehner was spouting the Tea Party line on This Week that he's willing to crash the global economy. He went on to say if the President doesn't accept their ransom demands, he's willing to default. I say screw them and let them own the quagmire they create.
These people are bat crap crazy and with such a spineless speaker in charge and being pushed around by Crazy Cruz, I wouldn't put it pass them to destroy America and the global economy.

Turning toward the looming debt ceiling deadline, the House Speaker said his chamber would not pass a measure to raise the limit without an Obamacare-related provision.
"We are not going to pass a clean debt limit [bill]," Boehner said. "The votes are not in the House.. We are not going down that path."

"That's the path we're on," Boehner replied. "I'm willing to sit down with the president, but his refusal to negotiate is putting our country at risk."
Obama has refused to negotiate over raising the debt ceiling ahead of a deadline later this month, out of concern that it would effectively institutionalize Republicans' tactic of threatening a default whenever their demands are not met.
