The MAGA-infused House Freedom Caucus on Thursday demanded that House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) make Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen “show her math” on how she arrived at June 1 as the earliest date of a potential default.
House Freedom Caucus Demand Yellen ‘Show Her Math’
Yellen: “One” (holds up one middle finger)
This is in line with the GOP response to Covid-19. All so-called ‘experts’ are anti-American leftist elites who are not worthy of trust. ‘Commonsense’ should be the rationale for all actions. The funny thing is that if Secretary Yellen did “show her math”, probably less than 10% of the Freedom Caucus would understand it…
Makes about as much sense as explaining science to their idiot voters. They wouldn’t get it no matter how much you explain it.
Alternately, she could deliver them 15,000+ pages of financial tables, reports, and calculations and tell them they are welcome to do their own analysis… before June 1st.
A “deal” is imminent and they want to hold off having to vote on it as long as they can.
You win so much with your perfect post.
I don’t see any benefit to anyone unless they plan on stalling as long as possible.
bdtex beat me to it.
If Hakeem Jeffries is such a whiz at centrism, why can’t he get five Republicans to sign a discharge petition, thus putting an end to the manufactured crisis?
Is this a real comment, or are you a rare TPM troll?
Nah, the howler monkey caucus just wants to screech. Give them anything and some intern will eventually find something to be used out of context that they can argue about.
She could give then the numbers, and remind them the numbers are in ARABIC Numerals!
Yuks and hilarity ensue!
Because parties. This has been another episode of “where’s my fucking pony? …those useless democrats”
Time to play whack a troll??
Where’s our resident bouncer?
“Is that a real poncho or is that a Sears poncho?”
I am constantly amazed (and relieved…) by the relative absence of trolls on TPM. The moderators seem to be doing a great job! 
Dunno…guess we gotta wreck the country… 
The ones that do show up end up getting their butts handed to them, usually with more courtesy than they deserve.
As if these mouth breathers can handle any math that can’t be counted on ten fingers and ten toes.
