We have elected morons.

From a report in the Daily Caller:

“Some veteran Republican House members are pushing back against conservative deficit hawks who are pushing for endlessly deep spending cuts, saying the right wing of the party is creating unnecessary divisions for the GOP majority…

“When Pence announced he would vote against the bill, McCarthy asked why he would vote for H.R. 1 but not the three-week measure under consideration. Pence said the nation is adding $2 billion in debt each day. But McCarthy pressed on . . ."

Anybody who can't, or refuses to, understand that 21 times $2 billion exceeds $6 billion is too dumb to be a dog catcher, let alone a congressman. Of course, that includes pert near all Democrats, but also a lot of incumbent Republicans who have sold out to the earmark culture and been tolerated long enough to become committee chairs. I refuse to call them men.
