I think the Representatives and Senators should have a work requirement as well.

How do you make $35k a year sitting at home without a job?
Unemployment doesn't pay that and is limited so do tell...

It’s the same argument they make with “ why should I have to pay my student loan debt when others didn’t have to pay for theirs” your Republican law makers passed laws for tax cuts for the richest people. Leaving us middle to low class to pay higher in taxes than the rich. And for those who don’t have student loan debts your still paying higher in taxes than the rich. I want the rich to pay their fare share as well.

He said "some guy not working living at his moms house making 35k a year" In what universe is someone not working, living at home making 35k a year? Does he think that everyone just makes 35k a year doing nothing?

[GrantTulsa]

I'd like to see each and every Congress man and women to survive two months on seven twenty five an hour and then come talk to me

[mli]

"Single mom with 2 jobs" it's crazy how normalized this is. It's horrible.

[markzuber]

I wish I could feed myself and pay more then just basic services but I'm disabled on ssi with no one I can rely on oh yea I'm a veteran also. I have faith evil will not prevail.

[GrantTulsa]

You know how many single moms working two jobs No!

Chicago Illinois is housing illegal immigrants in the downtown area in one of the hotels and I bet it is costing taxpayers $27 million per month. Unbelievable.

[doygwapo]

Can’t wait to see a GOP President being under the debt limit debate.

Cut Social Security
Cut Food Stamps
Cut Taxes for Billionaires

[WhereOceansMeeet]

I believe that Biden wanted more taxes and McCarthey didn't like I believe my dead grandmother still plays bingo every Sunday.

[redrustler]

Hey, um, Steve. We are wondering about the reduced spending levels when Republicans controlled the House and the White House when Trump was President. How'd that work out for us?

If there is no time frame for the debt ceiling vote, I believe arguments from both sides can go on for years. Politicians were elected to serve the people and I respect their stand on both sides, but a politician is not a business-minded person. The US has grown from our forefather's time into the world's economic powerhouse. The US must be run like a company with benefits.

So they want a medal now for adding more overall debt?
