The Stupid Party Gets Its Trophy
by David Stockman LewRockwell.com
Speaker Kevin McCarthy is a weak-kneed empty suit, but at least he’s sort of a half-assed Republican.
But you can’t say even that much for the ostensible GOP leader in the Senate. After 59 years suckling on the public teat, Mitch McConnell is a bought and paid for Deep State saboteur, if there ever was one. He has been instrumental in the GOP’s capitulation on every debt ceiling battle since 2011— so heaven forfend that he would finally dare say “no” to the Brobdingnagian Spending Machine sprawled out on the banks of the Potomac.
Au contraire. McConnell’s notion of the Leader’s job apparently is to kick the can, con the voters and “soothe” the markets, while leaving future taxpayers to inherit the fiscal carnage.
