I can think of a few things to cut ...

[Hojczyk]

Maybe they should never come back..

Six weeks off...Maybe we should have a six week general strike.

No tax money for the fools to spend..

Trump should call them back..if they do not come he should make recess appointments

[Sacajaweau]

Just do it. It’s not a game. It’s a necessity.

[Da Coyote]

Come on, we all know they’ll be the mama in prison once again.

They always have.

They always will.

[OttawaFreeper]

Why not bring back the (quaint) notion of not spending money that you ain’t got?

[econjack]

Oh, that will sail through no problem. Both parties LOVE spending our money and that yet to be earned by our grandchildren.

[Principled]

If it’s not raised, “government shutdown”.... in which the executive decides what to spend ;)

[mrsmith]

RINOs and Democrats will demand concessions to raise the limit.
Media will say they are doing a wonderful thing and that a ‘clean’ debt-limit hike is a bad thing...

You know, just the opposite of what the media said when Obama was there.

[eyeamok]

At least nobody is talking about actually living within their means.

[Reno89519]

No. Cut spending. Or, cut a dollar of spending for every dollar increase in debt limit. Start with Planned Parenthood, PBS, sanctuary cities, federal funds to schools that give illegal aliens in-state tuition while denying it to US citizens, etc.

[Lurkinanloomin]

This one is easy.

Fedzilla needs more money.

Fezilla ALWAYS gets what Fedzilla wants.

[Drago]

Simple, balance the current “CR”/budget and no ceiling increase is needed! And next year go for a bit of a surplus to start paying down the debt.

[datricker]

I've been a big advocate of the president not signing this for about 4 or 5 months now as I believe this is a critical moment and its time to make senators and their major donors pay. Anything the administration can do to affect major donors governmental business in a negative fashion should be brought to bare/bear?? inverse lobbying.

President Trump I think you should not sign the CR unless

• A budget is passed
• Wall funding is appropriated
• Tax cuts happen
• Simple clean repeal of Obama care

Otherwise ... shut'er down they ain't doing anything thing anyhow - sorry no pork for you!

[lucky american]

Why do will still worry about the debt? When the government needs money they just add a few digital zeros to the bottom line and print a few more dollars. No one’s going to fix this. Too many people on the dole. Let them go so we can get the pain over faster.

[Roccus]

.

Can anyone explain to me why we even HAVE a "debt ceiling"?

[upchuck]

Republicans are leaving town for an August recess after a failed attempt to repeal the Affordable Care Act.

They don't deserve this recess. They should stay in Wash. and do their jobs. Fund raisers, overseas junkets and all the other stuff can wait.

They work for us. And I, for one, don't think they have earned a "month off."

They should hang their heads in shame.
