But Yoho didnt listen to them about the shutdown. And look how that turned out.
I think we need to have that moment where we realize [were] going broke, Yoho said. If the debt ceiling isnt 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.
Fortunately it appears that Yoho's constituents are smarter than he is, here are some of the comments his office has received...

(2,795 posts)Because he raised a family, like Steve King said made him an expert in the international markets.
Is it because he owned a business in Florida. Because owning a small business makes one an expert on world markets as well.
One puke from northern Florida was a large animal vet who never held an elected office. Now he's in our congress threatening to burn the whole thing down.
So many of these freshmen congress people got elected out of anger and promising to fulfill all the dreams of the uneducated, ignorant tea baggers. And a so many of them don't understand how govt works or how our govt and economy effect the world.
So many of these congressmen have no business being in one of the highest offices in this country. They are over their heads and operating solely on arrogance and pride.

(51,666 posts)I know because I am also a veterinarian. We may be great at doctoring and diagnosing, but that whole economic policy and international relations thing is NOT covered in vet school. So unless he's had a very busy life in FL public policy, he's a moran at his current job. What a tool.
