In huge debit and yet still able to support worldwide wars. Nice

Congratulations CBS 3 years late on Hunter's laptop

Not worried at all about a default. With all the cash we've sent to Ukraine they could loan us what we need.

[bigmamassoul]

I'd rather default now rather than later while I'm still alive, future generations are not going to know what to do 😢

[AC-reee]

Im confident this traitor will not serve a second term.

[corey]

Just expect the complete opposite of what he actually says.

[boninm]

He keeps going on about the debt Ceiling. He’s trying to keep the focus off of him and his son.

I am 71, never seen Mr. Magoo right about anything yet !

[perfect]

I don't think Biden even knows he's the president.

[JC-tqgm]

Over 30 TRILLION and he's confident we dig the hole deeper. Cutting back just is not the thing to do. lol

[chrisbelieverinjesus]

And this is how we know, that we will go into default. They want the one world currency and CBDC's (cashless society)!

[joeomalley]

I think he said he cured cancer one time too. But, I didn't believe that lie either.

[stuarthayward]

Of coarse there won’t be a default, both parties are happy to raise the debt ceiling, how else would they get paid?

[highoctain]

If he's saying he is confident we won't default means that we WILL be defaulting. Prepare.

[kekm]

So you heard him people, get ready for them to default.

[johnscreekmark]

Between Biden and Yellen, our economy will be in the toilet soon.

[joebsniffs]

Whenever Biden says will not.. it will

[mbg-germaine]

Joe can’t even tell us what day is today.

[sci-fi.tsunami]

Because it's all just a big show. All been planned out.

[macharrington]

Maybe Ukraine will give us back some of those billions we sent.
