1. I don't understand how forcing the US gov't into default serves the corpotracy

Cui bono? Who benefits? Certainly not the 600-lb gorillas of the corporate world, who stand to lose mightily. In the end, NO ONE benefits, therefore, default will NOT occur - despite all the posturing on the part of repukes.

4. In the same way that forcing other countries into austerity through

shock doctrine measures did. When you pull the existing government down there is enough chaos to force privatization measures through and suddenly the people wake up to find that all former government services are no owned by corporations or have disappeared. Milton Friedman and his Chicago Boys have been using this method since the 50s in South America, Asia, Africa, Europe and now it is coming home to us. Corporatism does not recognize national borders so they do not care what happens to "government".

3. That's pretty much Walker and Kat$hit's plan.

Scorch and burn the constituents, make the handlers money, get a hosting/consultant job, leave state in unrecoverable ruins.

Poorly educated and hateful voters will do this to a country. It's like time and tide.
