       At this point does anyone see a way to head off the coming unconstitutional default on the US national debt?

       @frankreiff Why would they do that? Nothing McCarthy does in the next two years will be “for the good of the country.”

       @JamesGleick well raising the debt ceiling so that the world economy doesn’t implode isn’t quite nothing.. it’s just the absolute bare minimum and yes.. he might not even do that.. but congress can’t do it without a speaker being elected.. so even he is better than no speaker 🙄
