Why bother? You’re just going to cave in, Turtle.
It never enters their minds to stop spending money they don’t have. That’s just crazy talk.
What an absolute, useless pieces of feces.
The rats are only allowed one more reconciliation bill Ted this year. They could use it to raise the debt ceiling and BBB would be dead for this year. Of course we would t want to use a political weapon to our advantage by making them do that. Instead we look for offramps
Those two deserve each other IMO.
NO debt ceiling increase, under any circumstances.
Fed.gov MUST reform itself.
A debt ceiling that doesn’t function as a debt ceiling isn’t a debt ceiling.
Come now folks, the national debt is only about $200,000 per working American, part-timers included.
And if you considered those American workers that really have no money to spare and are in fact getting government help to pay their bills, the national debt might be about $400,000 per self-supporting working American.
And there’s another way, we can deal with the national debt by cheating our creditors big time. They’ll just swallow $30 trillion in losses with a smile. There’s absolutely no chance the creditors might try to take physical revenge on those American politicians that cheated them out of $30 trillion. It would never, ever happen.
Don’t the Democrats control both the Senate and House?
And wouldn’t Joe be able to write his name on the bill after passage?
The off ramp he said he wasn’t going to take just a few weeks ago?
Hey Mitch , Just Say NO
“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 ….”
In other words, Mitch, the Republican slimeball, has named his price to Schmuck, the Dim slimeball, and is waiting to be paid.
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,”
That “somewhere” in not raise the debt limit at all.
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.
Stop spending on stupid stuff. Stop printing money.
