Putting aside this week’s fiasco, McCarthy’s Speakership and this congress in general: I am reflecting on the impossibly absurd state of the Republican Party.
The Republicans were once trying to be noted for not increasing the debt and properly spending no more than was raised by taxes. This was lost a few decades back in a manner that is impossible to fathom.
With the perfect tool in hand, the debt ceiling, the Republicans somehow failed repeatedly to use it — in fact, they let it paralyze them. How in the world could this situation have developed except for a portion of the Republican Party that were secretly spend crazy themselves? It couldn’t. They are all liars.
When? 1924?
