I have not been happy with some of what McCarthy has been doing or I should say NOT doing, but the more I hear of Matt...I wonder. Mark Levin talked about it today on Truth Social.
The ease of answers that Gaetz gives about this talking in interviews tells me that he’s not lying and the substance of what he’s saying has merit. I’m waiting for someone to attack the Substance of what he’s saying and not attack his “ethics violations” or his “personal attacks” etc.
Levin has turned into a Neocon cuck. Wants to continue funding Ukraine as America slides deeper and deeper in debt.
The problem here is the enormous inertia that prevents a Republican congress from ever effectively accomplishing anything, and that inertia is caused by the “normalcy bias” (the small-minded, short-sighted belief that everything is just fine, even when it is not) and by the influence and outright corruption generated by the large, monied donor class. The do-nothings that booed Gaetz today all suffer from the normalcy bias, and many of them are compromised by financial conflicts of interest (by the cheap labor express, China interests, etc.).
What this debate made me think of today was what would have happened if a post 9/11/2001 time traveler had been able to travel back in time and warn the congress of 9/10/2001 about what was coming in less than 24 hours. Undoubtedly, the reactions would have been guffaws and arrogant dismissal of the warning, because such small minds who are also completely preoccupied with their own personal financial and political interests just can’t see the big picture. Today is no different. The country is on the edge of the financial cliff, with a monstrous debt spiraling out of control (accelerated by this same congress’ refusal earlier in the year to cap the debt), yet rather than admit the lateness of the hour and take action these willfully blind mice just ridicule and dismiss the few willing to tell the truth and issue a call to action.
They’re going to have to find out the hard way when the interest payments on the debt eat every dollar available to fund their pork barrel projects, or when (more likely) the contemptible fed just prints more money to cover the spiraling debt, causing the dollars in the average person’s pocket to become virtually worthless. These fools can’t or won’t see that drastic cuts to the entire federal budget are necessary NOW if we are to have any chance of pulling back from the financial brink. You can’t take in five trillion per year and spend seven trillion without very bad things happening. But never mind, Gaetz is the villain and needs to just pipe down so they can “get back to doing the business of the people.” Yeah, right.
