The MAGA contingent in Congress can get him to do whatever they want. He's their Puppet Speaker. MAGA wants to burn down the US Government and McCarthy just wants to hold on to the Speaker's seat.

Here's a really simple question at the end of a few set-up questions
1) Given an out-of-balance budget/deficit spending situation, that means
income - spending < 0, or
income + deficit = spending, right?
2) We had a deficit spending situation under Trump, right?
3) If we ALREADY have deficit spending
old_income < old_spending, or
old_income + old_deficit = old_spending
If we go to some new, LESSER income
new_income < old_income, or
new_income + income_reduction = old_income
then
old_income + old_deficit = old_spending
(new_income + income_reduction)
+ old_deficit = old_spending, or
new_income +
(old_deficit + income_reduction) = old_spending
SO
new_deficit = old_deficit + income_reduction
new_deficit > old_deficit
Basic algebra.
4) So, given all that...
a) How does reducing America's income during a time of deficit-spending make sense?
b) Supporting Trump supported INCREASED DEFICITS, since he reduced income!
No, Republicans want to cut spending. Do you support out of control deficit spending?

He should quit and let Representative Jeffries take over. Let the adults be in charge.

McCarthy wants to be House speaker so badly, nothing else matters.

And Republican voters will cheer him on for it, because they are that brainwashed.

@LordShadowfire Right, suffering is the point.

@LordShadowfire Trump added nearly 8 TRILLION to the debt. A number that is almost incomprehensible and I'm not sure most really understand how much that it is. Sounds like 'million.'
By far the most added in one term by any President.
This is the same song and dance over and over. Republicans blow it all up, Democrats clean it up, Republicans blame Democrats for their own shit, and then here we are. Rinse and repeat.
