I don’t trust the Democrats. They are lying.

Same old same old. We have met the Debt Aspiration and we have surpassed it!

Ad Astra!

Not to worry. There needs to be at least one more last-minute cramp to thrill the audience (you) just before the sudden heroic Resolution, and Earth is saved again.

Fade to black roll credits and walk-out music.

THAT is why I refer to LIEberal Democrats as LIEberal Democrats!

THEY LIE!

> caps on spending

Let me guess. The cap is 10,000 times the current budget.

If they are reducing the spending, why do they need to raise the cap?

Because it really isn’t a reduction in spending — it is only a reduction in governmental gobbledygook doublespeak.

The government uses baseline budgeting.

A cut isn’t really a cut. A reduction in spending isn’t really a reduction in spending. They’re still going to spend more next year than they did this year. A lot more.

We’ll see. I think the Biden administration is just setting him up for “he betrayed us” talk.

Why not let a Hunter Biden tax form appear tomorrow on Fox news or something?

You can play dirty too.

So McCarthy folded, claimed, victory, and thinks we are stupid enough to go for it?

A multi-trillion-dollar ceiling. Must have some nice filigrees.

This reminds me of when President Trump invited Pelousy and Schumer to the Oval Office. Just after his inauguration, President Trump invited them to discuss the big issues. President Trump invited a few reporters and cameras also. When President Trump began to talk, Pelousy announced that they could not proceed with the media present. She could not chance any witnesses, video of her lies. If any such recordings had existed, all the lies she told, for days and days, would be obvious. It would not have effected Pelousy at all personally. As with most democRATS, they have no conscience or soul.

Republicans have 5 seat majority, only 3 have to vote with dem caucus to pass anything. There are dozens of bed wetting rino losers who are scared to death of the media calling them names so thumis whole debt thingy is a joke. They did their job and passed a bill, go home. If dems dont accept make more cuts each time. Thats how I buy houses. My counter is less than my first offer.
Anyway, when you check your balls at the door, no one is going to care what your demands are.
The American people already spoke. The dems poured gas on the fire when inflation was peaking after 40 years, the American people said okay and kicked out the dems. Just repealed the assinine so called IRA. Its that simple, no IRS agents, green new deal, electic unicorn stuff etc. No republicans voted for it so repealed and give them 6 months on debt cap. If they refuse they default not us.

no new government programs

Beltway BS. They will just fund new projects within existing programs so as not to create a "new program"

Yeah, the Devil is in the details.

McCarthy promised to cut all the money for new IRS agents / investigators.

Let’s see if he left any money in. He had all the chips, all the cards, and the Dems didn’t have a bill. There was no competing legislation.
