How a MAGA Split With Big Business Could Break the Economy

[Zorro]

The pro-business Republicans who were friendly with the Chamber of Commerce have slowly disappeared from Congress. Now there may not be anyone left to raise the debt limit.

When Washington was on the brink of careening off the so-called fiscal cliff in 2011, recalcitrant congressional Republicans were facing pressure from a crucial ally.

The U.S. Chamber of Commerce, the country’s most powerful business lobby, had a clear message to GOP lawmakers who wanted to take the debt limit hostage in order to force spending cuts: quit messing around.

They urged Republicans to extend the federal government’s borrowing authority—and in doing so helped to soothe the U.S. and global economy.

More than a decade ago, Republicans were skeptical of that message—but they were friendly with the messenger. Now, with another debt limit crisis looming, Republicans are increasingly hostile to both.

2. The GOP wants to own the oligarchs and make them follow orders.

Like DeSantis in Florida and Putin in Russia.

3. Congressional MAGATs are still dependent on big business for their campaign funding.

I dont think they are going to jeopardize THAT economy.
And if they think they're playing a game of 'chicken' with the Democrats, Jeffries isnt going to give them an inch!

There are still dozens of GOP House members owned by Wall Street and the Corporations.
