The GOP holds some big bricks. Are they dynamite that they’ll use to blow up the economy if they don’t get their way? Or are they heavy burdens that will drag them to the bottom as they struggle to remain afloat? Let’s discuss, in today’s piece. https://statuskuo.substack.com/p/the-gop-holds-some-dangerous-but?sd=pf
The GOP Holds Some Dangerous But Heavy Bricks

I was reading two separate stories early this morning, and it struck me that they were actually related. The first is about the debt ceiling—a problem no one in the GOP wants to own but everyone will eventually have to address. Speaker Kevin McCarthy cobbled together exactly 217 against 215 votes, for a bill that slashes government spending across the board. It will go nowhere in the Senate—Democrats there

@jaykuo I hope this is true, but given the events of the past few years it feels like wishful thinking.

@jaykuo I vote on two sacks of shit going straight down to continue feeding the bottom feeding swamp dwelling republicans that has produced this vile anaerobic scum…

They'll blow up the economy the moment their donors are positioned to profit from it. As I understand it, they're rearranging their money now.

The one thing we know: they absolutely will not use them to build anything. The GOP does not create; they destroy.

@jaykuo Wouldn't it be great if someone could push through a federal law holding politicians or their party directly responsible for the personal harm caused by the bills they pass? Women died because they weren't allowed access to healthcare? You pay. A child was raped is forced to birth her baby? Well the kid can't work so you're now on the hook for supporting them until they are of legal age. And no, you can't use state taxes to pay for this, all the funds come straight from the GOP coffers.
