I appreciate your well written and factual response devoid of the usual ranting and personal attacks that are so common on this forum.
My problem with McCarthy is that he is supposed to be a leader yet he drags his feet on everything. While getting rid of the Omnibus bills is a good thing, why did he not act to get this process underway and the work done a lot sooner?
In a similar vein, McCarthy hasn’t supported the issuance of subpoenas either and delayed the impeachment inquiry. He talks tough but is very passive.
McCarthy is a terrible and duplicitous Speaker and I suspect that however the spending is eventually resolved any “cuts” will, in the end, basically be inconsequential.
Gaetz in trying to stop a run away train and is getting little help from the weak and feckless McCarthy. Its fair to criticize some of Gaetz’s tactics and theatrics, but he’s leading the battle against dangerously irresponsible spending and for that he deserves our gratitude and encouragement. Someone has to lead after all.
Thanks. I agree with pretty much everything you said. But unless Gaetz has a replacement lined up for McCarthy, which looks very unlikely, he needs to find another angle to press. Empty threats are obviously futile, and can be dangerous. Worst case he gets booted from Congress, for example, for making basically empty threats.
