McC is essentially saying, by word and action, that he's determined to do as little as humanly possible - to assist Americans.

[ablindman]

You say debt ceiling we see inflation.

[johnhatt]

Let the government default. Cut spending, balance the budget, lower taxes. Let's go Brandon!

[rgwak]

The reason we have to raise the debt ceiling in the first place is because of the $1.3 trillion tax cut for corporations and the $7 trillion deficit that the republicans ran up in the last 4 years.

[christopheringles]

Deceitful is claiming $3.5 trillion equals zero.

Mitch McConnell says like no need to pay back your debts, so, just order and eat at a restaurant, and when a bill comes, you do the McConnell refusal to pay, got it?

[djpomare]

This is Republican debt that they chalked up themselves...
...Allow Democrats to be the adults in the room...
...Despite the Republicans spending like drunken sailors.
Jen Psaki for President, Yabba dabba doo!

How many more times are we going to raise the debt ceiling? My generation complains about how boomers ruined the economy for us, yet here my generation is encouraging continual bloating of the nations debt that will inevitably pop further down the road and screw over our posterity. Someone is going to have to swallow the pill, why don't we start now?

[daydreonmckinney]

Has anyone ask Mitch, why he had no problem raising the debt ceiling under Republican House but won't do it now?

[LambertBrady]

Moscow Mitch will raise the debt limit for the Orange Criminal Insurrectionist.

[aliciataylor]

Get those bills passed, with reconciliation!! If the debt ceiling isn't raised it will directly be on Republic heads if its not raised.

[mountainfisher]

ADD TO THIS TO THE "Free Stand Alone" FREE HEALTH CARE A LIVING WAGE, AND ABOLISH THE FILIBUSTER ! ! !

[alexroberts]

I also believe that there should be no more career seats for any political positions. No more than two four year terms. This will give more Americans a chance to say, "I did my best for my state or country."
A more active role in insuring the best for our country. Less time for curruption, and will show "the people" what you're made of.
We all have ideas, we've all have said our share, but if we put that to use I feel it would make America great again!

[jlb]

Old corrupt politicians are deceitful. Nothing new here.

John 3:17
For God sent not his Son into the World to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.

[Paul-iuom]

Let’s not fight bout which side did what, both sides are idiots and pocketing money which ever way you look at it

[jeffsanders]

Anyone who thinks more debt is good is lying to themselves

[waltermachnicz]

All that is needed is Republicans break ranks for the good of the country. umm..

[robertjack]

Trump Best President Ever.. Let's Go Brandon... Let's Go Brandon... Let's Go Brandon... HA.. HA... HA... Trump 3rd Term 2024 YA.. YA.. YA

[lonnyself]

I am sick of hearing rich politicians play with us over their money issues why they empty my pockets and raddle swords they don't have, we the people vote with your mind, not your heart they don't.
