Because they control the Senate, they can bring a “clean” debt limit bill to the floor and dare the GOP House to defeat it

"Clean" is not the first word that pops into my head when the subject is Schumer.

Too bad McCarthy didn’t begin negotiations with real spending cuts and real deficit reduction in H.R. 2811. Biden and the Democrats will only ask for more spending and more debt. McCarthy is a pussy and he will fold, claiming that we can’t allow America to default. That’s BS. There is one and only fiscally sound solution. That’s massively cutting government programs and spending so that current revenue can meet debt obligations coming due. The side effect would only getting the economy out of its current funk.

And the House can send back another bill with cuts. Do the young people in the US have any understanding about the debt the Democrats are shackling them with?

Great spin but in the end the Debt Ceiling gets raised and there’s more wasteful spending in Washington.

Not Acceptable.

If I were McCarthy, I'd tell him that it's hard to negotiate with liars, as the Dems are calling his bill some pejorative slang like The Shut Down the government bill.

Has anyone noticed an uptick in Joe Manchin stories in more mainstream media venues recently? Without DiFi, who is too frail to even be wheeled onto the senate floor for a vote, Manchin is the deciding vote on what happens with the debt ceiling.

Look at the green and red lines in 2007, then look at 2022

Why is this being called “caving in”? They just are meeting.

And right on queue, Hillary tweets this morning that Trump broke his promise to not raise the debt ceiling.

Smoke and mirrors intended to deflect what the current puppet is doing.

Biden and McCarthy report to the same boss…

Kevin McCarthy is a protégé of Klaus Schwab

Biden backed off initial refusal to meet with McCarthy.

Previously, Slo Joe was TOTALLY SILENT about meeting or discussing Speaker McCarthy’s proposal leading people to believe that he wasn’t even going to entertain it at all.

If Trump had not spent money in the name of COVID Hillary would have said he didn’t care if people died. In a way, Trump did Dems a favor by sending out checks because they would say he set the precedent, but he didn’t foresee the 2020 steal.

Dems don’ cave like Republicans do. They re-position, reload and attack. Always forward while the GOP always retreats.
