Sounds familiar, a dagger through the heart of working class people, while the rich get richer🇬🇧

[x-men-]

Just don't pay the lawmakers until they get things done.

Can you imagine the homelessness if Social Security checks are not sent on time? There are tens of millions of Americans who need that check every month. And they either paid FICA all their working lives or suffered a serious disability.

Our politicians have been so irresponsible and incompetent for decades. $31 TRILLION in debt. Stop wasting taxpayer’s money.

[Mike-tbci]

For GOD sake's stop the insane spending. You are destroying our country

[RealityBites-tM-MtA]

First thing on the chopping blocks should be job creator SUBSIDIES! it's the tax loophole Walmart, Amazon, Microsoft, Verizon, and other HUGE corporations use, so they never have to pay taxes. If these companies paid taxes it would completely slash our country's debt!

[lesahill]

She is telling us we’re going into foreclosure.

[mikeberger]

It's like giving a gambler a money printer and telling them not to use it.

[purpleivy]

Right I’m sorry but stop paying out to other Countries! How can they think of not paying SS and our Military when they are still supporting everyone else.

[chaserohwedder]

Are we supposed to just forget this is the same person who said inflation would never happen? She’s been wrong on everything for decades.

[calvincooley]

I wouldn't trust her to run a lemonade stand.

[tillettman]

Everyone get your tax refunds now, just in case. I imagine that if theres default, the first thing they’ll do is “hold onto” everyone’s refunds.

I thought all this crap was "PAID FOR"!! The first thing they always do is try to scare people on Social Security.

[toddrichard]

This government is a joke! They could not run a hot dog stand, they just print more money and spend it while the working class picks up the tab. This has got to stop!!

[sumiland]

People on social security aren't a burden to society!! They are the foundation of families, the backbone of communities!!
Disabled people are caregivers, moral support, standing in the gap, sharing their ideas and their strength in overcoming difficulties. These people are every bit a part of the strength of our United States!!

[bryantbrown]

⚠️They basically failed. they was supposed to come up with an agreement on the debt ceiling yesterday January 19⚠️I’m sensing an insurrection in the future over benefits🤦🏻‍♂️

[carolluker]

Why don’t you tell Biden to stop wasting the money

[ronlokk]

The kids in congress need to get it together and grow up. This is not the time for petty personal goals to lets this nation fall off a cliff. All the best.

Stop spending money you do not have and is not your for starters.
