I had forgotten which side committed the original sin, but Russell Berman helped me out here. It was the GOP...of course.

I was an economics major in college, and I even took a course on the effects of government spending and the debt during those years.

With that said, I will now say that there is NOTHING that would do more immediate and long-term damage to the world economy than the US defaulting on our debt. It would be a catastrophe.

That Rep. Boebert's child is becoming a teen father is not the outstanding item here to me (though not a surprise).

It's her statement about sex ed classes teaching how to enjoy sex.

I'm REALLY sure that teens have been figuring out how to enjoy sex since the beginning of time (or close to it). Her son certainly seems to have figured it out as did she when she was a teenager.

Lauren Boebert Praises Teen Moms as She Makes Grandma Announcement

Boebert praised "rural conservative communities" for having lower abortion rates among teens, saying they're "special" because "they value life."

First off, all states (and probably the federal government) should be making sure no child under 16 can marry.

But, the GOP is using the same argument that was justification for Warren Jeffs and the FLDS.

This is their version of family values.

Wyoming Limiting Child Marriage Sparks Republican Outrage

The state GOP is urging its members to kill a bill banning anyone from marrying a child under 16, calling it an attack on liberty that could hurt teen parents.

Newsweek

You mean African-American voters know that they are being targeted for voter suppression? Oh yeah, that's because they are smart.

BTW, you can substitute Georgia, Florida, Texas, etc with Wisconsin and the story is equally true.

The GOP is all about unequal access to voting since they can't win people over with actual ideas.
