It is probably impossible to be a bigger moron than Rep. Ted Yoho of Florida.
Now, Yoho is ready for a bigger fight. He doesn’t want to raise the debt ceiling — ever again. The experts, and Republican leaders, say that would trigger a financial catastrophe.
But Yoho didn’t listen to them about the shutdown. And look how that turned out.
“I think we need to have that moment where we realize [we’re] going broke,” Yoho said. If the debt ceiling isn’t raised, that will sure as heck be a moment. “I think, personally, it would bring stability to the world markets,” since they would be assured that the United States had moved decisively to curb its debt.
Memo to Yoho: the world considers our debt one of their safest investment opportunities, you idiot. As long as they feel that way, we can never go broke. And you want to screw that up.
