The current “debt ceiling crisis” was foisted upon Kevin McCarthy by Trump and the crazies in the Freedom Caucus. For some of them it is just performance art, getting on TV, and talking a lot of nonsenses about things they don’t care to know about — willful ignorance. But for others, including Trump, it is an attempt tp push the government over the cliff and into chaos. That their actions will result in a great deal of human suffering is the point. In an era of totally mistrust of institutions, corruption flourishes, and that’s their real goal. Bannon is the ideologue; Trump is the means to the end.
