No, no, no! No more debt! We keep raising the debt ceiling, and there's always __some__ excuse for why we have to do it. Enough is enough. Now that the adults are back in charge of the government, they should be acting like it, not reverting to excuse-mode.

In spirit I agree with you, but IMO it's become a big source of fake news for the MSM.

Get it over with, for a decade...raise the ceiling to $30 Trillion, and watch the cockroaches in DC scurry about! lol

The excuse, I believe, is that the public refuses to allow the tax hikes or spending cuts or combination of those to allow the budget to balance.

I for one think they should cut all expenditures, except for those that affect me personally. Those are all good and should stay.

Shut it down....SHUT IT DOWN!

Trump should demand every agency, every department except border security/defense be trimmed 10% (Not just rate of spending) or he will not sign anything. Eliminate redundancies with the states. Eliminate wasteful programs.

This time...twist their left gonad and make’em squeal.

Why have a debt ceiling at all?

“Need” is a strong word. We “need” air to breath, food to eat, and shelter from the elements.

We don’t “need” more debt.
