[villamcclendon]

Who is that lady in the background.She is very unprofessional and a distraction

[NativeAmerican]

Trying to cut the deficit back. Trying to be more responsible with taxpayers money. Is that bad?Governments bloated.

[williamweiler]

how did they "take default off the table?"

the only way to do that is to agree.

[stevesondag]

The bottom line is very simple. If you don’t bring physical sanity back to this country, it doesn’t matter because we’re going to default at some point anyway .

Hakeem is obviously being coached by Obama.
Antony Blinken also does a great Obama impersonation.

[russ]

This guy lie to your face all the time

[TheNewCarryTrade]

We the American People need the President to negotiate with the House that the People elected.

Debt ceiling means they are going to hit the freaking ceiling. 😂😂😂😂

[Quarry]

Picture this scenario you are in deep credit card debt. You can barely make the minimum payment, let alone paying down the balance.
Bankruptcy is not an option.
What would an logical person do ? Raise your credit limit, or cut spending

I guess we will see !!!

On another note, the House of Representatives has averaged 147 working days (averaged since 2001) ...in the course of a year. That equates to 1 work day, and 2 1/2 days off . Not bad for $174, 00 /year + MRA !

Remember that when voting .

Spending cuts would be a good idea right now. It would help control inflation

[brandonwoodcock]

How about they all take a pay cut instead of giving themselves raises all the damn time. That would save millions right there..

[fromafar]

Let the people decide. STOP SPENDING FOOL

[toadma]

In other words increase the debt ceiling and let Biden keep spending without limitations.

[aguskaneka]

Spending cut will help the Nation out of recession

[zenzei_]

Yeah yeah but money for Ukraine sure no problem

[Andre-thro]

Americans must pay our debts unless your a student

[robertroetter]

Schumer had a lot of time to get an agreement. Wait till last minute and declare crisis.

[YS-ysus]

Here I educate my son: hey, buddy, to thrive in this country, one skill you have to master, not being honest and having integrity, but learn pointing fingers to other people. 😂
