What about all the ink and paper we ordered to keep the printing presses going?

I guess you missed the memo. We are going to save hundreds of trillions of dollars - more than enough to both pay off the debt and continue to spend without limit - by dispensing with the printing presses and going cashless. Not only is digital all the rage and much easier to move decimal points, it also makes tracking so much easier, and none of us want to make the NSA work any harder than they already do.

Mitch is blustering, he knows they have 50 votes.

After his help passing the Trojan horse infrastructure bill, along with 17 other Assistant Democrats, the reconciliation will destroy what’s left of the country and THEY ALL KNOW IT.

Having 10 votes to have cloture does not mean it passes. It only means that they can have a final vote and watch it go down to failure if they don’t have the votes. Good strategy for McConnell to lets they rats vote and see the bill die.

How is that a threat? Don't they have 50 votes in the Senate?

You would think that McConnell would know that.

Its a lot of drama I think the bigger debt ceiling will win in the end with the swticheroo votes of Murkowski or Mitt or somebody else on the list.

Mitch is just raising his price for acquiescence.

Wave the flag a little and make a symbolic effort for the rubes back home that keep voting for him. IMHO.

Maybe Cocaine Mitch knows how Manchin or Sinema would vote already?

They won't let the government default.

As opposed to the 'just plain spend' Conservatives?

But they need ten Republicans to get closure and have a vote.

Can they do it under reconciliation?

...then the GOP has a significant argument that they’re the party of fiscal responsibility...

LOL! The GOP lost any claim they ever had to being the party of fiscal responsibility decades ago. They raised the debt limit twice under Trump and added over $6 trillion to the debt.

Republican voters are as easily fooled as Democrat voters.

Just look at Flimsey Grahamnesty.

He voted for amnesty and a permanent Democrat majority THREE times by 2014 and he has been re-elected TWICE since.

Republicans will keep re-electing Assistant Democrats until they assist the Democrats to that permanent majority.

Americans have shown themselves to be either stupid, willing to let elections be stolen, or both.

Yes, that, or have given up all hope. Much easier to drink and party than look at the tragedy unfolding in front of us. Bye-bye, American life, drove off a cliff with a sigh...
