LETTER TO THE EDITOR:

A shutdown would further the GOP agenda

There are a number of reasons why the Republican Party — now ruled by the Tea Party — is really aiming to shut the government down and will do so.

One such reason is that Republicans now see that they can administer a coup de grace to the union movement.

The most important reason, however, is that they want to disrupt and destroy the growing economic recovery because they know that a healing economy will result in Democrats’ victories in 2012 and may also spell the end of the radical far right.

The fact that the great middle class may suffer greatly does not enter into the GOP’s equation.
