Republicans prove they don't deserve the House majority they barely won . . .
Gang of 5 - “If you don't put a MAGA maniac as speaker, we're going to block all business in the House of Representatives !!!”
Me - “I fail to see the threat”
The House is entering day 3 with no leader. Yet the sun still rises. The lights come on when I flip the switch. And we went back to our jobs.
Well, some of us. President Biden, fresh from his “Decision 2024 - to be or not to be” retreat in the tiny Duchy of Delaware, immediately fled the White House for . . . .Kentucky??!!
That's right. His staff confirmed there was nothing important on his calendar for the rest of the week (month?), so he's off fund raising for impoverished democrats who can't repay their 2022 campaign loans.
Ordinary citizens who can't pay their student loans, you can go pound sand.
I was criticized several days ago on this website for serving up the well-known aphorism “That which governs least governs best”. Someone immediately accused me of being an anarchist. For the record, I'm an atheist, not an anarchist. That was s a quote from Thomas Jefferson. And Henry David Thoreau, who probably never met Jefferson. Guys who would be called conservatives, if they were alive today.
I'm guessing Jefferson and Thoreau, if they controlled the House of Representatives, could think up something more worthwhile to do with it than hold "Hunter Biden Laptop” hearings.
You can hardly blame them (the 218 childish house members, not Jefferson and Thoreau). We just sat through 2 years of Senate hearings (at least) on vital stuff like “Russian Collusion” (no charges filed); Tax Returns (no charges filed); USA Guy Fawkes day (January 6th, no charges filed). So perhaps republican rebels without a cause can be forgiven for emulating democrats without scruples?
The MOST IMPORTANT THING in 2022 WAS – the USA debt ceiling was raised at the 11th hour before congress' left for vacation. $1.7 Trillion (with a T) in new spending, pork, earmarks, debt, no bid contracts, bridges to nowhere, Martian rover robots, army killer robots, facial recognition cameras . . .
We now owe the federal government $320,000 per household, for spending in excess of tax revenue (income).
Geeze . . if I had money like that, I could buy an actual house. My cousin could pay off his student loans. Or I could jump into crypto currency, Tesla, and Meta. And watch them continue to dive for the basement.
Better you don't give me the money. I'm no smarter than your average career politician. And THEY are complete morons.
At least I'm not corrupt as well, though.
