This is about strategy, not principles. Trump wants to use next year to deal with spending cuts and a host of other important issues which he plans to implement through a reconciliation bill. Negotiating that is going to take most of Congress’s time for about the first 2 months. Starting the year off with a government shutdown will put undue pressure on Congress to rush through a potentially sub-par reconciliation bill or else spend time working on a debt ceiling bill first, rather than the more important reconciliation bill.
Agreed.
So we raise the debt ceiling? You make no sense.
Chip Roy is a Bush wonk and a grandstander. Just another political puke.
“CR”- continuing resolution
Oct& Nov the us added $632B to the national debt 2025 $3.5T deficit.
394 days to $40T debt if nothing changes
Name some of your state’s accomplishments.
You may be right. I just don’t like the public attacks on people who mostly on our side but don’t always agree. I’m fine with public denouncement of people like McConnell.
From Texas:
Lbj and his Vietnam war.
Bush and his Iraq war.
Top that tejanos.
“Name some of your state’s accomplishments.”
Reagan.
Roy speaks truth to power. He is salt of the earth and he dreads naught!
Re: 63 - re: debt ceiling. Disappointed that raising the debt ceiling for two *years* was in the bill.
They need to pass a clean CR. Period. Then have a bill for other things.
Posters / readers that think things will be different in the next Congress may be in for a surprise. The R majority will be razor thin again.
I guess you live in California aka Califubar. If so you should be very careful about criticizing another state.
Chip Roy — defender of Liz Cheney and the J6 committee, called Trump’s J6 speech “impeachable conduct,” worked for a “Stop Trump” SuperPAC, and most recently undermined Trump’s push to stop the CR bill being rammed through Congress.
Oh yeah, in in the summer of 2020 he pathetically virtue signaled and said he was impressed by George Floyd’s “life and work.”
This fool needs to be primaried, bigly.
