Why should any private sector civilian care about it more than the politicians and bureaucracies that enable it?

Because the private sector will bear the burden of the debt. The politicians will vote themselves raises and continue to benefit from their legally protected insider trading.

thegagline,

This is true but they have to raise taxes to hurt us.

They’d rather borrow at the moment.

I agree, will raise the debt ceiling, five dollars in exchange for Joe Biden, resigning, along with Kamala Harris.

If our side caves with a House majority, I am done.

It is one thing to get MAJOR concessions in return but without those MAJOR concessions, it is a cave pure and simple.

MAJOR concessions: eliminate 87,000 IRS agents, build a wall, defund Obamacare, defund Green New Deal and many other projects.

Not another dime until the Trump Wall is being finished at a minimum of 2 miles per day

That would be a good start. Better if they can refuse to raise the debt limit.

thegagline,

Also Trump’s hockey stick, aligns with the war on covid and covid hysteria.

Here is the yearly % increase in the Federal Debt under Trump.

2017 3.4%
2018 6.3%
2019 1.9% (nothing abnormal yet about Trump and spending.)
2020 18.25% (This is abnormal but people were scared of the virus and wanted to fight a war against it.)

McCarthy now has his back up against the wall. He must allow the House members to strip virtually all the money and provisions out of the $1.7 trillion omnibus legislation, and lots of other programs.

Need to force the building of the border wall and provide the funding directly to the States to get it built.

Even a blind man can see how this plays out.

The House passes a great bill that solves
many current problems and it never passes the Senate.

No need for *46 to even pick up a veto pen.

We’re about to see how solid the GOP is on their pledge to not raise the debt without spending cuts.

the looting of the USA working class begins.

this will drive inflation wild and the loot will flow into corporate globalist bank accounts, to stooges like zelenski or to prop up the EU being dragged under by refugees

They should be gradually lowering the Debt Ceiling. Raising the Debt Ceiling without doing a credible plan towards having spending equal revenues cannot be tolerated. If the GOP caves on this then they are finished and so will the USD of the Union of 1788 be finished shortly thereafter.
