Mike Gallagher, "Common Sense Man"?

We know that Mike Gallagher (R-WI) is a Wannabe Davos Man.  Now it turns out that he can define 'common sense'--so long as that includes raising the debt limit.

...Rep. Mike Gallagher (R-WI) said that we should raise the debt ceiling and avoid a default, but all that Republicans want is some fiscal reform and one possibility is “no budget, no pay” which would prevent legislators from being paid when they don’t pass budgets. Gallagher stated, “What we’re asking for is some sensible reforms packaged with a debt ceiling increase. And I do believe the American people gave House Republicans the majority to put a check on the runaway spending we’ve seen from the Biden administration....

Oh.

When will you be 'putting a check on runaway spending', Mike?  Common sense--which you talk about--tells us that that won't happen in the next two years.  Meantime, the USD is collapsing like a cheap suitcase as the BRICS countries start using the ruble and/or yuan as the preferred currency.

Is "common sense" going to stop that, too??
