Do they plan on cutting their own salaries?

[bfreeman]

And just how much money have we given Ukraine now??

[MongrelsCycling]

Can we default sending Abram tanks to Ukraine?

[bobby-ovqn]

Not one penny more. Not one. This is Joey BIdens doing, he got us in this economical mess, he can help us out by stop pending money we don't have.

[claireconover]

they’re either going to play political games up until the very last minute… OR… we’re gonna default.

[shannonbrown]

I really don't understand this enough, but I hope they are able to come to a resolution. The country and the world is heading for disaster if we don't. That brings the tally for America ending soon now to avoiding a catastrophic default and powering Ukraine to victory when we apparently can't even pay our own bills. 🙄

Even Democrat senators are saying Bidens position makes no sense.

[Hot_Stank]

This saddens my heart but we have no choice but to stay the course with the current politics.

[Zero_ss]

Both talk tough, close the door, laugh it up and come back out acting like they even tried.

All this drama is just for the press. They will start passing continuing resolutions ad nauseum to fund the government while they continue to play chicken. In the past we had government hiring freezes. We need that now.

Let's go BRANDON...let's go BRANDON...let's go BRANDON

Why does Joe Biden always sound like he just woke up from a nap?

[catedney]

Debt Ceiling Isn’t the Time to debate the Budget GOP!!! Make a budget Another time & PLEASE Make the USA Budget for 5 years to 10 years ahead of Time!!! WHAT are we paying all of you for??? Us regular hard working people are tired

[JohnDoe-lcyj]

Imagine a couple agreeing to, and buying, lots of furniture, cars and jewelry. Then one spouse thinks their other is spending to much, so that spouse decides not to pay their bills that they OWE. THAT THEY BOTH PREVIOUSLY AGREED TO PAY. NOPE, THEY'RE NOT GONNA PAY IT.

If you agree on not paying your bills, then you just might be a Republican.

[relaxgood]

Biden should hold his position and let them decide if they want to cause chaos in the country.

[Mr.Genesis]

I love back door deals. When the president touted "Transparency"

[miken]

I am OK with a 2% spending cut across the board and a 2% tax hike across the board. That is a fair starting point and gets US closer to balanced budget. Whatever your taxes are for 2023, add 2% for all individuals & business.

What a disgusting excuse for a human being. LET'S GO BRANDON!
