Its that time again when Congress does its Kabuki Theater drama about raising the US debt limit. Of course, everyone in Congress and the Biden Administration want to spend trillions of dollars so they will hike the debt limit.
With the US government facing the danger of a payments default later this year, Congress has a variety of paths to avert economic disaster and boost the debt ceiling.
All of them would likely involve going right up to the market-rattling brink, according to current and former lawmakers and aides.
The timeline kicks off within weeks, when Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen is expected to advise that the government will deploy extraordinary accounting measures to avoid running out of cash. Those steps are forecast to be exhausted after July.
Nothing has been the same since the financial crisis of 2008 and the ascension of all-time big spender Nancy Pelosi as House Speaker. Budget deficits have never been the same. The last budget surplus was under House Speaker Newt Gingrich. But since the financial crisis of 2008, Federal spending seems to have increased its trajectory.
Note that mandatory spending (Medicare, Social Security, etc) is growing like a wild fire while discretionary spending is seemingly flat. So, it mandatory spending that Congress will pretend to cut.
Yes, it is Medicare for our aging population that has blown out of control.
Then we have defense spending. The Ukraine spending should come from this pot, but forces decisions to make between Ukraine and taking care of our Navy (to compete with the growing Chinese navy).
Of course, as The Fed fights inflation, we are seeing the COST of Federal debt soaring since Covid.
And the US is facing, in addition to $31.5 TRILLION in debt, a whopping $173.6 TRILLION in UNFUNDED LIABILITIES (Social Security, Medicare, etc).

Biden that corrupt traitor. But McConnell/Pelosi are destroying the country too.

As I’ve mentioned here several times.
We’re now over $205 trillion dollars in debt
Hello Weimar Republic

Starting with Reagan, nobody really cared about the debt. Every president and congress deserve blame. But that doesn’t get us anywhere.

One word answer: NESARA.
All along, only interest has been paid on this debt. We’re not paying a dime in principle back, ever. And, soon stop paying the interest as well. The system was DESIGNED to never pay principle.
The FED is a fraud. The IRS is a fraud.

During the China Virus hysteria, the government sent me a check for $1200 (I think). I didn't need it. Why the heck did they send it to me? I mean we all need money, but I was not in a situation where I needed to be "rescued".
That was one of the worst policy decisions the government ever made. Now those chickens have come home to roost.

Surely all of those “experts” at the World Economic Forum can figure this out.
