The House Speaker and Louise and the next House Speaker.

Who will House Republicans choose as the next Speaker?

Will let Speaker demand meaningful debt reduction

Fully 210 of 218 House Republicans voted

to keep a speaker who had openly collaborated with House Democrats and

Uniparty fiscal orgy has ignited a virulent inflation,

trigger to wage price spiral, and resulted in the most rapid rise in

interest in mortgage rates in decades. With no small irony, the eight

House Republicans who stood in the fickle breach are being branded as

extremists simply for pointing out what every American outside the House and

Senate chambers knows. Our fiscal position is untenable. Today our public debt stands at $33 trillion and America's debt to

GDP ratio which measures the ability of our economy to both provide public

goods and services and still service the debt is

well north of 120%. Global financial markets scream danger when any country hits a debt to GDP ratio above 70%.
