President Biden on Wednesday ​resorted to histrionics, saying that a “meteor” could crash into the US economy if Congress doesn’t raise the government’s debt ceiling — ​even as Republicans ​noted that Democrats can simply lift the spending cap on their own.​

Biden insisted Republicans could cause the US to default on its debt after an Oct. 18 deadline as he attempted to undercut conservative pressure on Democrats to own the vote as they push for trillions in new spending.

Creepy Joe is directing a thousand meteors at the economy, then wants Republicans to share the blame for the imminent crash.

We would be further ahead by banning fossil fools, like Biden, Pelosi, Feinstein, Leahy, etc

Full faith and credit in the American government.

Just like our allies have now, right Joe?

Sorry to say it - but its too late for reform.

The only thing which will stop the complete globalist deep-state leftist take over of Fed.gov will be default and bankruptcy.

So, bring it on.

Dithering? I hope to God they aren’t “dithering” but are fighting this tooth and nail.

I know, not much chance of that these days.

Every piece of idiotic legislation introduced by fanatical
progressives is always deemed catastrophic if not passed.

babblin' bidet using such moronic histrionics is gobbled up
by his adoring, lame brain liberal minions.

Thankfully it passed before the end of the world due to climate change.

Biden hopes a meteor will crash the economy. That way the Leftnicks can grow the dependent culture.
