Eric Cantor continues to reinforce his role as the driver of the House Republican clown car. In addition to legislating based on fraudulent O'Keefe videos and introducing bills that are totally ridiculous, he's now playing grabass with the debt ceiling:
House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-VA) suggested Tuesday that Congress will allow the country to hit its debt ceiling, and continue to hold out for dramatic spending cuts while the nation approaches a genuine default.
"I think Treasury has, if I'm not mistaken, has put ... out a notice that there is a window within which we have to act in order to avoid the eventual default of this country on its debt," Cantor told reporters at his weekly Capitol briefing. "And I believe that that outside deadline is early July."
This is pure nihilism. This is Tyler Durden blowing up downtown Wilmington.
