If the U.S. breaches its debt ceiling this week, bringing with it the global financial panic economists
predict, leaders of a little-known far-right movement called Christian Reconstructionism
[ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dominionism#Christian_Reconstructionism ]
can claim partial responsibility. Their goal: to eradicate the U.S. government
so that a theocratic Christian nation emerges to enforce biblical laws.

That's right -- laws out of the Book of Leviticus... much more ..

.. that goal shocked me to the core on reading it .. it stands out more than most any i have ever read of any organization, and surely must be kept up front in all sensible minds .. the goal could unwell have been part of the thinking which lead to the House Rules Committee coup .. http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=92962350

and so to the shutdown .. that any in the USA would put their religious belief ahead of democracy, and
ahead of the well-being of ordinary hard-working citizens in the USA, is almost inconceivable .. from yours ..

"Business as Usual" .. excerpt ..

The government shutdown is over. National default has been averted, for now. According to an estimate by Standard & Poor’s, the Tea Party’s brinkmanship cost the American economy twenty-four billion dollars—more than half a percentage point of quarterly growth. House Republicans have suffered a huge tactical defeat of their own devising, and their approval ratings are at an all-time low. President Obama and the Democrats in Congress appear strong for refusing to give in to blackmail.

But in a larger sense the Republicans are winning, and have been for the past three years, if not the past thirty. They’re just too blinkered by fantasies of total victory to see it. The shutdown caused havoc for federal workers and the citizens they serve across the country. Parks and museums closed, new cancer patients were locked out of clinical trials, loans to small businesses and rural areas froze, time ran down on implementation of the Dodd-Frank financial-regulation law, trade talks had to be postponed. All this chaos only brings the government into greater disrepute, and, as Jenny Brown’s colleagues dig their way out of the backlog, they’ll be fielding calls from many more enraged taxpayers. It would be naïve to think that intransigent Republicans don’t regard these consequences of their actions with indifference, if not outright pleasure. Ever since Ronald Reagan, in his first inaugural, pronounced government to be the problem, elected Republicans have been doing everything possible to make it true.
