Their answer to paying off the massive dept they have is to print more money than they have ever printed before.

Bankrupting the country and Shmuck has the nerve to say, wreckless and irresponsible! Like what is asking for isn’t Wreckless or irresponsible

Senator Lankford pointed out weeks ago Senate had failed to pass even 1 of 12 appropriation bills. Complete lack of work here and now we see the desperate scrambling of politicians who didn't do their homework. Disgraceful. All of you. We would all be fired from our jobs if we didn't do our work. Consider this as you fight and point fingers over OUR money.

You clearly can't pay your debts Chucky. What is it you don't understand. Never heard the words, we can't afford that? Imagine if everyone could pay their debts by taking out a loan, creating 'debt' to pay the debt. Just imagine, like your wealth

Schumer wouldn’t know an unbroken promise if it slapped him in the face.

They're not even hiding how malicious they are. That's something a Bond Supervillain would say.

[trinaalurac]

it's so bad their own people are standing in the way. Blaming Republicans is Just the sound bite, that is such a bad deal even Democrats are standing in its way. Stand Strong and don't let this thing pass.
