To the Editor:
Re “To Escape Chaos, a Terrible Deal” (editorial, Aug. 1):
No one seems to be pointing the finger at those most responsible for the debt-ceiling debacle we have witnessed in recent weeks—the Democrats who chose to sit out the November 2010 election. Low Democratic turnout was an important reason for the extreme right-wing victories in Congressional races.
And now, we are all paying the price. I hope that the lessons learned will be reflected in November 2012.
