"Some Americans think that this crisis reflects typical partisan squabbling. No. "Democrats and Republicans have always disagreed... about what economic policy is best, but, in the past, it was not normal for either to sabotage the economy as a negotiating tactic. In a household, husbands and wives disagree passionately about high-stakes issues like how to raise children. But normal people do not announce that if their spouse does not give in, they will break all the windows in the house."
