McConnell-Schumer hunt for debt ceiling off ramp
The Hill ^ | 11/18/2021 | Jordain Carney

Senate Majority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) and Senate GOP Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) met on Thursday as they look for an off-ramp from a looming fight over the debt ceiling.

“We had a good discussion about several different issues that are all extant as we move toward the end of the session,” McConnell told reporters.

“We agreed to kind of keep talking, working together to try to get somewhere,” McConnell added.

There is NO NEED to raise the debt ceiling.

Just do what any family or company would do when faced with a large debt ... SELL SOME ASSETS!

The gov’t has lots of valuable land which could be sold or leased.

“... working together to try to get somewhere,”

Guess Mitch lied about 3 weeks ago.

Tough talk right up until he caves, every time.

Didn’t the Turtle say the Repubs would not help in passing the debt ceiling raise?

Caved again, eh Mitch?

IMHO, and I’m sure there are numerous FReepers who agree, the debt ceiling should stay where it is or even be lowered. Much of the profligate spending should be cut or eliminated.
