Do democrats push deficit spending to create the need for more borrowing so they can extort more kickbacks from lenders?

So why didn’t the democrats include an increase in the debt ceiling when they pushed through their last porkibus spending bill?

There are NO payments for principle for the national ‘debt’, it’s just interest. Always was since the FED creation.

It's just a way to move taxpayer money endlessly to lenders who kickback a percentage to the politicians who create the need to borrow.

Senators and Congressmen/women don't become multi-millionaires on their government salaries.

I absolutely love it! Was thinking this over last night while I was doing dishes. (I do my best thinking, then.)

These @#$%^&! Socialist Democrats! When they want what THEY want (regardless of what WE THE PEOPLE want!) they move Heaven and Earth to get it.

When it later works against them, they cry FOUL and that someone moved the goal posts!

Oy! These people! I loathe them, completely! They’re toddlers; absolutely no thought for anyone but themselves!

LOL. Yes I remember how Jill Biden complained about how there are just so many crises in the world preventing Joe Biden from great achievements as president.

I recall hearing that the debt ceiling has been lifted dozens of times in about the last 50 years. Often it has just been a routine procedure. I guess we’ll see soon enough if the Republicans in the House will stand up against the being browbeaten on this issue.
