House republicans stalled on key agenda items

The new republican controlled House has yet to move forward with any of their key agenda items, which includes making a plan to avoid breaching the debt ceiling. Instead, they have been caught up in political spectacles and battles within the party. When will they start tackling issues that matter most to voters? To help break down what’s currently going on within congress, The Lincoln Project co-founder Rick Wilson and Insider senior editor Bartie Scott joined guest host Michael Steele on American Voices.

And they complain Biden isn't doing anything

[mackjrbell]

If it's not about purple M&Ms, Mr. Potato Head or Twitter republicans are completely useless.

I don’t understand how they can cut Social Security when the federal government does not pay into it. The working people pay into the SSI program ever day, it’s our money. And they need to give back all the money they took from the program!

GOP/GQP are stalled on key items because where all think alike, no one thinks very much.

[Acer_Maximinus]

“…Republicans stalled…”
No one saw this coming. 🙄
That should be the GQP campaign slogan.

[laurencrouse]

Michael Steele cracks me up.... Rick Wilson is always appreciated too...

[EattheApple]

Can't cut because it's popular? They are not popular, people need those programs to live. SS is my money, you have no right to mess with it.

[Sua_Sponte_RSTB]

The people that sit around and complain but offer up no options have accomplished nothing?

Color me shocked 😲

[stevejohnson]

Doing nothing eventually means losing your job. That can take a long time, but Orange Creature was fired within four years.

[donaldrayprine]

They have zero clues about how to fix anything

[pdoylemi]

GOP - "We REFUSE to raise the debt ceiling unless you give us what we want!"
USA - "What do you want?"
GOP - "We haven't figured that out yet!"

Republicans agenda
1. Hunter's laptop
2. Hunter's laptop
3. Hunter's laptop
4. Hunter's laptop
5. Hunter's laptop
6. You get the point

End this nonsense of a debt ceiling: In 1917, during World War I, Congress created the debt ceiling with the Second Liberty Bond Act of 1917, which allowed the Treasury to issue bonds and take on other debt without specific Congressional approval, as long as the total debt fell under the statutory debt ceiling.

Why aren't we talking about Trump's mafia ties anymore? Do people want to vote for a mob boss for President in 2024? Are people okay with Trump being affiliated with the mafia and acting like a mob boss? Asking for a friend...

[doviebarton]

can we cut their pay and their insurance?

[freetochoose]

We have to keep watching the Republican clown show till the adults (Dems) can retake the house.

[tsubadaikhan]

Republican Politicians and Voters are just too happily uninformed to have any idea what a catastrophe failing to raise the Debt Ceiling would be. Part of me wants them to do it just to prove how utterly incompetent at Governing they are.

Key agenda items makes it sound like they're working on something constructive! Stop being soft on the GOP!

[patcomerford]

This is now the crazies in control of the House. 🤯🤯🤯

[ernestoxavier]

If there's is one thing I've learned about about the GOP & right-wing media Outlets, they've always been scared that we would destroy their illusion." ⚔
