Someone wants to see America default on its debts. Someone wants to tank the economy, or at least force the U. S. to offer higher interest rates for its debt. Who might that be?
Tough question, but, as Deep Throat told Woodward and Bernstein, "follow trhe money." Who is financing the looneytoons in the House of Reps? Where does their money originate?
I doubt the original sources are identifiable. Most likely the money is "laundered," as per Citizens United, through various third parties and organizations.
Let some latter day Woodward or Bernstein investigate some of the most prominent members of the "A" team (A is for...). Most of these people seems to have crawled out of the political woodwork, fully funded and supported. They are clearly independent of the GOP committees and regular organization.
So, back to the question, who owns them? Who are the puppet masters moving their mouths?(Start with Ted Cruz?) Most are too stupid to think this stuff up themselves, and they clearly have the GOP and Boehner by the throat. (If Boehner was as much a patriot as an opportunist, he would sacrifice his speakership for the good of the nation.) They certainly represent some very powerful "interests" (read as "people").
Follow the money.
