if we could get a majority, the Senators and Representatives could do what they’re supposed to do

Last time the GOP had the majority, it spent like drunken sailors.

A GOP majority spending like drunken sailors is actually something that can be controlled, and a situation in which Cruz’ approach would actually be the right one. We’ve just got to get that majority in the first place!

Also, another thing on the “debt ceiling” debate: it’s purely symbolic, because every time we get near hitting it, there’ll be a flurry of activity and it gets extended or something happens to make it meaningless.

So in a lot of ways, it’s a waste of time and it’s just what everybody calls it, “Kabuki theater”. Time consuming, meaningless, and just for show.
