    There ain't no limit. It's Texas Hold 'Em.

    Now that The White House has indicated

    1. It will negotiate over the debt ceiling
    2. It has no backup plans
    3. A default would be a disaster

    Is there any limit on what the House GOP should aim for here, concession-wise?

        More like they're negotiating with someone who's entire goal is to shoot the hostages

          The Dennis Hopper character takes hostages into the parking garage and then shoots all of them in front of Keanu.

          "You shot all the hostages."

          "That was my goal. Shoot all the hostages."

          "That makes no sense."

          "It does to me!" He releases the trigger on the stick control, kills Keanu, and escapes.

          The remake of Speed only lasts 20 minutes.

      You underestimate the willingness of the GOP to deliberately push the US over the fiscal cliff regardless of the outcome.

      Which means, at this point, that Biden not minting the coin and obliterating the financial sector is the most revolutionary act since Emancipation.
