McCarthyism

Yesterday, Matt Gaetz, Republican congressman from Florida, led a coalition to oust Republican Speaker Kevin McCarthy from his leadership role in the House. Some people think that this was the right thing to do, while others believe that this will prove to be a complete disaster. It makes absolutely no difference. It is the equivalent of rearranging the deckchairs on the Titanic as it’s sinking. Regardless of who the Speaker of the House is, Kevin McCarthy or Scott Scalise or Hakeem Jeffries, the United States of America is being destroyed right before our eyes from the inside out. This is another one of those events that the average American is supposed to get all worked up over, while those in power continue with the business as usual of screwing the average American.

We have a $33 trillion debt, and we are staring at another $1 trillion deficit in 2024, so it doesn’t really matter who the Speaker of the House is if no one is willing to do anything about government spending. If we continue doing the same old things over and over again, spending more than we are taking in, running up a debt that our grandchildren and great grandchildren will have to pay back, we are headed for total collapse. Our $33 trillion of debt is one of the most selfish things that has ever been done in American history. Certain people are benefitting from this debt that will have to be paid back by future generations, people who are not even born, yet. They benefit, someone else pays. And one of the biggest drivers of all this debt, is the green new deal. Yet, so-called environmentalists keep telling us about how we want to leave the planet environmentally in the best place for future generations, but the environment will not matter to those future generations if they are all impoverished and strangled by insurmountable debt.
