Any measure raising the debt ceiling without repealing Obamacare should be vetoed by President Trump.

How about doing you job passing a Budget first

[TBP]

So you’re telling me that the only way America can pay its debts is to incur more of them? That makes NO sense.

[Kickass Conservative]

I forget, Is McConnell the Minority Leader in the Senate or the Majority Leader in the Senate?

[cableguymn]

This dumbass knows debt comes first right?

we went through this the last time.

[onona]

Wonder what mnuchin was whispering in his ear

[AFreeBird]

Well, the GOPe sure has.

[Conservative Gato]

SMH!

Onward Cloward-Piven!

These people running our governments are completely insane or complicit or both. There really is no other explanation.

Here we go again....

[Mariner]

That’s because the corrupt bastard knows it will be a CR only. The Republican Congress will keep the trajectory of the last 16 years.

And there will be no new budget.

Because Republicans are corrupt and stupid. And unworthy of the office they hold.

[Maudeen]

This guy reminds me of an old vaudeville hack that needs to be yanked off the stage.

[McCarthysGhost]

McConnell is despicable.

[Parley Baer]

“McConnell did not mention Trump in his remarks, and he did not take questions from reporters after the event”

He got his ass burned the last time he mouthed off.

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

Of course, once again, the false choice of default versus debt ceiling increase is presented. Of course, Congress could pass a skinnier budget or prioritize various types of spending, but that would make too much sense for DC.

[Mr. Peabody]

Then give Trump what he wants just like you did Obama.

[EnglishOnly]

.... Right from the Gobbler’s mouth.

and ...........Totally worthless.

[Terry Mross]

More than 30 years ago Diane Sawyer did a program that had about a hundred people divided into groups all sitting at tables. Each group was made up of people from all walks of life. Their challenge was to try to balance the budget. Not one group could agree on where to cut or how to increase revenue.

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell says there is “zero chance” Congress will allow the country to default on its debts by voting to not increase the borrowing limit.

So much pure, undiluted insanity in this one sentence. We will not default on our debt, no sir - we will simply borrow more money so we won't have to do that. We will not reduce our spending, let alone think of actually paying down our debt - we will just keep borrowing because someone out there will always want to lend us money.

Any individual who tried to conduct his or her personal finances in this manner would have been driven into bankruptcy long ago and had their most of their belongings sold to pay off creditors.

[Hildy]

I hate these people more than I could ever imagine. For 10 years I and my Republican friends have given our life, our time, our money, our blood sweat and tears to deliver a Republican Majority. And now we have it, they freaking squander it, betray our President, mock him thereby ridiculing us. I am truly getting ready to leave this Party of spineless bastards.

[unlearner]

If all borrowers could unilaterally raise their own credit limits, no one would ever default on any loan.
