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.

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.

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.

Kevin McCarthy is a protégé of Klaus Schwab

I think that this is less about budgets and spending limits than who is going to be holding the hot potato when everything goes south in 12 months or less.

There is a recession coming and it has all the predicates for being a big one. The banking ‘dominos’ are continuing to fall with the Pacific northwest regional banks starting to teeter. inflation persists, the housing and construction markets are flatlining and commercial real estate is well past the point of collapse. If nothing else happens, Team Biden is on the hook for this mess. So, Biden and his handlers arrange to meet with McCarthy for ‘negotiations’. We can almost see the headlines now, “Biden agrees to future spending limits to saves the full faith and credit of America now”. Biden’s handlers would love to be able to say that they were forced to reduce ‘critical’ spending and that this was what threw the country into recession. Any excuse will do, as long as they can blame this on the Republicans on the run up to the ‘24 elections and open the floodgates for future spending without a pause.

Nope. This isn’t about budgets or deficits. This is about 2024 and the Left’s desperate grab for permanent power. Guaranteed.
