They're not crazy or irrational; there's method to their madness, and progressives would do well not to underestimate the rationality of their extremism if we wish to come out winners. To think that there isn't a strategy behind their madcap mission to shut down government and possibly default on the debt would be to severely underestimate their capabilities for very long-term thinking. They're more than willing to pay a short-term, easily overlooked, political price, with the backing of their Wall Street benefactors, and I've seen nothing in the unfolding drama so far to indicate that they're not going to gain from these machinations over the long haul.
