Yes, Gaetz and the Republic had a victory, it may or may not be short term.
But something had to be done. Inflation is spiraling up. Inflation is dangerous and can easily be the end of a republic.
Remember the Weimar Republic?
I certainly remember the Weimar Republic.
The next 30-60 days will tell a lot, if we get chaos over who will be the next Speaker and/or the Government shuts down for some period of time, then this move by Gaetz won’t be good.
The issue now is the solution to this problem requires pain from the public in the form of high interest rates and budget cuts, neither of which the politicians from either side want to deal with, which means nothing will get done until it’s a real crisis.
The other issue is the public has little to no confidence in both parties to tell them the truth.
It’s certainly a ballsy move by Gaetz, there is very little middle ground, either will be a hero or total loser, I give him credit for trying.
