This is the right way to think of the Republican Party

But there is a kind of logic to the current Republican position: in effect, the party is doubling down on starve-the-beast. Depriving the government of revenue, it turns out, wasn’t enough to push politicians into dismantling the welfare state. So now the de facto strategy is to oppose any responsible action until we are in the midst of a fiscal catastrophe. You read it here first.

Yes, the Republicans want to bankrupt the country. That is the only realistic conclusion to draw from their utterly irresponsible actions since they were taken over by the Reaganites.

Paul Krugman lays it out all very clearly. The logic is pretty simple: force a financial catastrophe of such colossal proportions (and hope the Democrats are in power when this happens), and we'll take over and dismantle everything the way we long envisioned.

We'll be partying like it's 1937 all over again.
