“You idiots!
What do you think DOGE is all about???”
All the more reason to view Trump’s agenda to raise the ceiling as a mixed signal and contradiction.
You can’t claim to want lower spending by wanting the ability to spend more. It is absolutely illogical, irrational, and questionable. It makes no sense at all...
When has the Debt Ceiling ever been enforced by any Congress?
It a useless bit of political posting by the political dogmatics to pretend they are “doing something” while actually being totally worthless except as a tool to force a GOP President to sign bad emergency CRs or crash the US Economy.
Like it or not real world US politics do not work the way Conservative Inc think it does. Useless political posturing about “the Debt Ceiling” by certain narcissists Congress critters, while doing NOTHING to actually reign in spending, is infantile.
It make Conservative Inc all giddy while actually doing nothing at all to contain spending.
How about you all stop mindlessly squealing for useless gesutrues and start demanding your Congress start actually DOING IT JOB for a change
OMG. That is so wrong. The problem with the debt ceiling is it ties the hands of POTUS to make tax cuts of any kind. See, under the debt ceiling tax cuts must be "paid for" and that is wrong for two reasons: First reason is that taxes are our money, the concept of people keeping their money has to be "paid for" puts logic on it's head. Reason 2: Every tax cut has resulted int an increase in Federal revenue helping reduce deficits.
Get it? Do you understand?
DOGE is only about finding the low hanging fruit to make government more efficient and lower waste, fraud and abuse, not balancing the budget. Trump does need to listen to their recommendations, though. It isn’t up to him to decide where to “spare no expense” or whether to raise the debt limit or not.
