I hope this deal gets bipartisan support. (Because Kevin probly doesn't have the votes w/o Democratic help!)

Do people realize that we cannot pay back the 30+ trillion dollars, hence why the "dollar" is barely worth anything, causing inflation, which is really price-gouging because of the near valueless dollar.

BRING ON THE INFLATION AND SOCIAL WELFARE CUTS!

it's just kicking the can down the road for the inevitable to happen.

America should of been focused on paying other countries back and not just giving it away to other places we have NO business with but sadly we the people are paying a BIG price for the ignorance of those who are running this so called "land of the free".

This is too divided. I think both dems and rep both can agree we both hate one another.

Interesting to see what happens. There is a lot of what if in the air

[rosegarden]

The next step is to start working on lowering the debt between these two years.

[NashHinton]

Hopefully we default and all these clowns are out of a job.

Ehh just raise the debt ceiling for the 9th or 10th time in the 2000s, what's the worst that could happen...
It will be fine, let's trust these old guys who still think fax machines are an efficient use in government facilities. They are connected with the people and know how to solve these complex problems they created over generations...

We can cut defense spending by 25 percent and not one American be put at risk. I say that being proud Maga.

[leeedens]

So, maybe the US Government isn’t as crazy as we all think, they still need to cut spending and raise revenue, but defaulting isn’t the answer, now it's time to actually figure out a path to pay down the US national deficit

[LowRiderDave]
