I have no confidence that the GOP is going to be able to avoid a debt default sadly because McCarthy is the worst Speaker of the House since Newt Gingrich.

@statmonkey @GreenFire Seems they want to run the country straight into the ground. Predictable result of a Republican run House.

@GreenFire @TonyStark He makes Gingrinch look like a genius. But I dont think Kevvy is as evil. Just stupid and power hungry.

@statmonkey @GreenFire @TonyStark

He might not be evil himself, but he was giving away free steak knives to the members of his party who ARE in exchange for their speakership votes ... and his suit isn't exactly stab-proof, is it?

@statmonkey @GreenFire @TonyStark actually defaulting is what they have wanted for at least a decade. I have no hope they will avoid it this time. Nihilism is hellova drug.
