House Republicans have narrowly passed a sweeping debt ceiling package as they try to push President Biden into negotiations on federal spending.

gross mismanagement is the only way this country is in debt.

[ericeandco]

You can’t just keep incurring debt forever. Other countries and big businesses own this country.

[mikesemenko]

Yeah I can't afford gas and groceries but these people keep getting more and more money to spend on their pet projects

[dragonli]

This is a joke 😆 America given billions and trillion dollars to Ukrainian but cutting American people benefit 😆

[julielaythe]

The spending needs to stop. Period. There are alot of grant programs that aren't necessary. Alot of made up job positions that aren't productive should have never been created. All the politicians on both sides need an audit of their finances before another average citizen looses a job or home because of their bad choices.

[jacques]

Stop spending money we don't have.

[shaye]

We need budget cuts bozos it's called balancing a budget

So tired of Republicans and Democrats fighting over the debt ceiling and threatening to default on debt or shut the government down. Raise taxes on corporations and higher income brackets back to where they were pre-Reagan and start paying the debt down. The cost of everything is going to continue to go up because inflation is going to keep pushing things in that direction. The only way to get the debt paid down is to raise taxes on the people who can afford to pay more.

They will all keep spending till collapse.

POV: you watched a PragerU video on Adam Smith and think you undedstand modern economic policy

[johnmiller]

More debt, more inflation. It's that simple. Wanna pay less for everything?
Reduce inflation. Take note of all who voted against, and will vote against this bill in the senate, and vote them out asap.

Wow, they narrowly passed that bill. It was almost like for a moment they understood the job. But ended up going right back to fleecing America.

The debt ceiling is not a dilemma. The debt is the dilemma. 32 Trillion and closing. You will own nothing and be happy, comrade!

Translation:
"House Republicans pass US debt bill, push Obama on spending"

[hungwilliam]

"Nice economy you got there. Shame if you defaulted on your debt obligations." Extortion.

[rickshawwheelchair]

There is no such thing as a clean debt ceiling bill

[heavyd]

Its time for Biden to actually do his job!!!!

[chandlergay]

Can I have some money? Sure could use it!

[dirtracer]

Why must thing’s always be so difficult; don’t spend more than you make. Our Country should immediately cut funding to; Any and all United States Public & Elected Public Employees that do no serve Us tax payers First before themselves, Lazy Americans, Any and all “illegal immigrants” and foreign nations.

Republicans propose a 22% CUT ACROSS THE BOARD, including the VA!
That's a hard pass for me.
