Political Brinksmanship and the Speaker's Chair

I believe Representative McCarthy is a good second choice for Speaker of the House, although I would have preferred a stronger centrist Republican such as Representative Bacon or Representative Fitzpatrick. I think that the potential dysfunction that will be caused by the Trumpist/Tea Party wing on economic issues renders any of them unfit to be Speaker. I think that any person who willingly encourages the majority to engage in brinksmanship tactics and strategies that could lead to the United States defaulting on its fiduciary obligations, and potentially risking the national credit rating being lowered has no business occupying the Speaker's chair. My Grandfather and Aunt who were both independently wealthy detested such brinksmanship, and counseled all in my family to vote against politicians who advocated such actions, notwithstanding their ultimate goals; because of their deleterious effects on national and international financial markets, such actions only serve to increase and heighten economic instability both nationally and internationally.
