Pelosi, blaming Trump for debt, vows to raise borrowing limit
The Hill ^ | 09/08/2021 | Mike Lillis

Pelosi, blaming Trump for debt, vows to raise borrowing limit © Getty/Bonnie Cash Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) vowed Wednesday that Democrats will stave off a government default by raising the debt ceiling in the coming weeks.

The Speaker did not specify what larger legislative vehicle, if any, Democratic leaders will tap to move the controversial measure amid threats of non-cooperation from Republican leaders. But she was terse in ruling out one potential avenue: "We won't be putting it in reconciliation," Pelosi told reporters in the Capitol.

That redline is significant, since the Democrats' nascent $3.5 trillion reconciliation package is the one piece of looming legislation expected to move by special budget rules allowing it to pass without any Republican support.

She is just looking for a wedge issue. These people keep power by dividing and misinforming the American public. But I make no excuses for an ignorant public that so easily accepts what this government and msm say without question.

And yet no resignations and no impeachment hearings! I hate hate our party leaders especially Senator McConnell ! God forbid if this would’ve been Trump they would’ve demanded his head on a stick and his administration to resign. We have Fort Bliss and spineless leaders that need to go. McCarthy has to go. Pelosi has more @allls than those bastards!

Huh - as I’ve read the constitution I know that the HOUSE has complete and total control over the purse of the United States.

There’s only one person responsible for the debt Pelosi, YOU and Obama.

Nurse Ratchet has lost her mind.
All I can figure is the DNC power base in San Francisco is in deep trouble.

Don’t blame her, it works with her base. They could blame Trump for the days getting shorter and her base would believe it.

Borrowing, of course, having nothing at all to do with debt. No way!

Remember when the Balanced Budget Amendment was voted down? It was a Republican Senator who made the deciding vote. Hatfield. Just like Obamacare’s survival-McCain.

What percentage of the debt was borrowed while she was in office?
Which branch of government has the power to borrow?
Was Donald Trump ever in that branch of government?

How do the short attention span American people even remember President Trump in order to blame him?

I don’t think the public is ignorant about this President and his administration.....even the simple minded see and feel the affects of their agenda every day. However I do think the public doesn’t know how to stop it as their representatives also sit on the sidelines and watch Congress fail just as miserably as Biden is.

The system isn’t just malfunctioning....it’s completely broken down and in the hands of people who have no regard for the public.

If it weren’t for Trump defeating Hillary she would have pushed us off of the cliff Obama left us on and likely that would include at least double the debt we have now. Democrats are desperate to keep power and in order to stop (black Republican) Larry Elder in the California recall they’ve even called him “white supremacist”. Now we find out a reason they are scared. I saw an article over at 100percentfedup about that, “Larry Elder To Replace Senator Dianne Feinstein With A Republican If He Wins Recall Election”, so give that a look. That would make it 51-49 R from the current 50-50 with D VP breaking ties and McConnell might help stop Biden and Pelosi. Dims and the budget are like drunk kids with their parents credit card. Neither thing will end well.

The $3.5T “infrastructure bill” is Trump’s fault. Got it.
