Imagine if they actually resolved the issues in a timely manner, how are they being paid to cause us problems? Unbelievable Lol

Kevin and Mitch. The debt from 2017-2020 was $20, $21, $22, and $27 trillion respectively. Not once, not once did you request a reduction in spending, or any type of conditions to increase the debt. You just agreed when Trump was president without conditions. Now that Biden is president you want conditions to increase the debt. So what were you saying about politics and the debt?

Remember whatever spineless McCarthy says today he will deny it tomorrow.

Bro, we are REALLY close to defaulting. McCarthy provided a wishlist but has produced no budget to negotiate with. Nothing was accomplished today.

So most elderly folks above 60 cant find a job because of their lack of mental clarity but somehow we have a country full of 70-80 year olds running the show. Funny

How to play chicken with the economy:
1. Propagandize the idea that the debt ceiling is a credit limit and the country's debts are to blame for inflation and bank failures.
2. Ignore the fact that your party was responsible for a large part of said debt.
3. Write a bill that ties raising the debt ceiling to budget cuts across the board and does not even keep government spending in line with inflation. Ignore the fact that it would significantly damage the economy, would never pass in the Senate, and some of your own party do not even like it.
4. Tell your base the cuts are needed by comparing a country's trillion dollar budget to a family's budget and we need to "tighten our belts".
5. Tell the President the ball is in his court, when you didn't actually do anything meaningful and are only trying to mislead your base. Pretend you actually did something.
6. Also, ignore the fact that a cap on spending is not real and that later legislation can override it, anyway.
7. Wait until 2 days before a default and pass something at the last minute, because your job is now on the line.
8. Again, claim you did something good.

a debt ceiling that changes everytime it was touched is not a ceiling at all
this is one of the biggest stupidest open lie in the world

Make a clean bill instead of holding it hostage to pass your agenda

They didn't say a word during Trump's 4 years.
Spend, spend and spend.

The Republican party will never recover if they let that happen.

I think Biden needs to make everything transparent I would show exactly on paper what is being cut to the American people on national television primetime
