We have to pay our debts.
I would have to liked to see reductions in spending but there is no chance of that happening as long as the Democrats control the Senate.
The GOP wisely passed up a fight it had no chance of winning.
But the GOP, which controls the House of Representatives, which is the source of all spending legislation, won’t fight on spending either.
They’re just rubber-stamps for the ‘rats.
You've been suckered by that line. The ONLY debt that risks sovereign default is the actual DEBT. That is 6% of the annual budget. The ongoing revenues are sufficient to cover it. The only reason it wouldn't be covered is if a POLITICAL DECISION was made by OBAMA to not pay that 6%. Most of the "budget" is money being poured into social security and medicare. Defense amounts to about 18%.
The spineless cowards we sent to guard the people's money have instead allowed the little boy with the credit card to keep spending recklessly. The only end to this is a currency crash. Before that happens, you can expect a "bail-in" raid on your bank accounts and retirement accounts. Riots will follow. That is what the golfing gay boy wants so badly.
Just as "live to fight another day" only applies to battles that cause real death, caving in to the enemy to avoid a loss is not the same as a winning strategy - it is an easy win for the enemy. Liberals never let up, no matter how they are originally reacted to. Republicans take the initial bad feedback as a sign that they need to change their strategy and their convictions in order to not 'lose". Which side seems to be scoring most of the gains between Johnson and now?
