Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich on Sunday applauded the debt limit deal forged by House Republicans and Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) with President Joe Biden.

Gingrich took to social media to set out his thoughts on what he hailed as a “dramatic victory.” He said:

The Debt limit deal is a dramatic victory for Speaker McCarthy and House Republicans. Before they passed their history changing bill no one would have believed it possible to cut spending, reestablish work requirements, reform permitting for energy and infrastructure and more

Bingo.

Kinda like a guy saying, “I’m going to cut down on my spending. And I’m also going to apply for more credit cards.” Nope, not buying it.

Victory?

Uniparty hacks like Newt define victory as the uncontrolled and unsustainable growth of the social welfare state, the corporate welfare state, and the military industrial complex.

Victory is simply keeping the press running that is printing money that is borrowed from some entity which is probably foreign and most likely our most dangerous enemy which is Red China.

Its “dramatic” in the sense that there was lots of drama.

Spending more money is Washington’s self-serving answer to everything.

Thank you for referencing that article ChicagoConservative27.

"Newt Gingrich on Debt Deal — ‘Dramatic Victory’"


FR: Never Accept the Premise of Your Opponent’s Argument

Both McCarthy and Gingrich are blatantly ignoring the unconstitutional, unaccountable taxing and spending of an unconstitutionally big federal government imo.

The definition of insanity is reelecting your beloved career state and federal lawmakers and executives over and over again, expecting those same government “leaders” to find remedies for unconstitutional government policies every time.

Whole heartedly agree with your last paragraph but the top three statements are rendered moot by the passage and ratification of the 16th Amendment.

If a bad idea is passed, ratified and in the Constitution, it’s in there. Actions done on it’s basis are by definition Constitutional because it’s in the Constitution.

Thanks for replying Reily.

"Whole heartedly agree with your last paragraph but the top three statements are rendered moot by the passage and ratification of the 16th Amendment."


I respectfully disagree that 16th Amendment (16A) does anything other than to facilitate Congress's limited power to appropriate taxes.

"Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States." —Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.

Please consider that it's actually politically correct interpretations of 16A that are used to try to justify the unconstitutionally big federal government.

For example, it's been pointed out concerning unconstitutional (imo) Obamacare, that the misguided Roberts Court seemingly "overlooked" (blatantly ignored?) that the Supreme Court had historically repeatedly clarified that the states have never expressly constitutionally given the feds the specific power to dictate, regulate, tax and spend in the name of INTRAstate healthcare. This is evidence by excerpts shown in the last part of this post which are from the writings of respected constitutional experts, including Supreme Court justices, who had emphasized that the federal government has no express constitutional authority to dictate intrastate healthcare policy.

Regarding what people claim that 16A does or does not do in the context of today's unconstitutional, unaccountable federal taxing and spending, the following excerpt from Linder v. United States (Linder) shows the following. The Supreme Court continued to clarify that the states have obviously never expressly constitutionally given the feds the specific power to dictate, regulate, tax and spend in the name of INTRAstate healthcare regardless of 16A.

No constitutionally enumerated power to establish national healthcare:

The definition of insanity is reelecting your beloved career state and federal lawmakers and executives over and over again, expecting those same government “leaders” to find remedies for unconstitutional government policies every time.

Not my favorites!
I view a decade or close to it DC as enough!
Send them home, let’s see if people like McConnell, Graham & Schumer can even find their way back home.

Repeal the 17th Amendment and or Term Limits!
I want both!
