These people get more recess than kindergartners.

IMAGINE HOW STRONG OUR COUNTRY WOULD BE IF CONGRESS SPENT THEIR DAYS WORKING FOR THE PEOPLE WHO ELECTED THEM INSTEAD OF THE PEOPLE WHO BUY THEM.

If the government was a business, it would be out of business.

Just schedule a meeting five minutes before the Treasury runs out of money. The meeting will be more productive.

[steveconn]

Good to put these critical decisions off until the last minute.

[droughttolerant]

As i recall once the impeachment is voted on everthing stops.

[bobbobby]

Need to pay the debt back with all of the money these crooks stole from taxpayers.

[stevenorosz]

Would be nice if Biden would answer questions to the public too. He answers hardly any questions about anything important to everyday Americans

[bigdogandrew]

This narcissistic will hurt us over his ego

[kathypariso]

It would also be legal for Biden to use the 14th Amendment. Because the 14th Amendment says the debt MUST be paid. McCarthy is throwing sand in the works by making demands that belong in the appropriations committee, not the debt ceiling.

The dollar is done. Over the past 3 weeks, over $360 billion (!!!) has been withdrawn from US banks. Now the payouts are already limited. Anyone who has not now understood where this ends will lose their fortune

[chriswampler]

Do not raise the limit, cut spending. Period.

[georgeh]

Biden is the leader and should start acting like one. He needs to do less name-calling and finger-pointing, and more taking responsibility for not only the good but for the bad.

[librarynan]

McCarthy needs not to give in to the traitors in the White House.

[barbhelle]

People need to get him out next election. People need help!

[bigmamassoul]

Looking at his track record, I don't think he's worried about the law, nothing's going to happen to him

[plr]

our country will go into turmoil if we dont talk!... mhmhm lets talk next week‼️😂 wtf🤦🏽‍♂️

[brigittearroyo]

what exactly happens when DEFAULT is permitted ? First time in US history ?

[iwritethehooks]

There must have been an ice cream truck in the neighborhood

[RLogan-slxl]

Apparently they ran out of chocolate chip ice cream.
