Charles Dickens‘ Oliver Twist gave debtors‘ prison a bad rap. Too bad. I‘d say that locking away GOP Majority Leader Eric Cantor in a penitentiary for deadbeats seems like a darn good idea.

… Default lies with the Republican spendthrifts, Mr. President. So I suggest you issue an executive order creating a new wing at Guantanamo: a debtors‘ prison for trillion-dollar deadbeats.

(Don‘t you think Eric Cantor would look good in orange?)
