Democrats say it's 'dangerous' for Republicans to demand spending cuts as a condition of raising the borrowing limit.

The BS gets deeper and deeper.

It’s imperative that they do this so that we can hurry up and start talking about the economy and quadrillions rather than mere trillions.

Lower the debt ceiling, don’t raise it.

Other times, Biden brags about cutting the deficit (though he neglects to mention that the debt is still growing). But when he wants to spend the money his way, deficits are irrelevant.

"Democrats say it's 'dangerous' for Republicans to demand spending cuts as a condition of raising the borrowing limit"

Well, it's good news that Democrat talking points are that dull-witted to fear 'spending cuts', because the second half of their missive: "Just all-out embrace stealing from the Treasury any amount!", will unfortunately resonate with this diseased Republic, who associate cutting even things like ant-farm studies as heinous (even though no Millenial actually understands that word, but if even one Millenial wanted to study ant-farming, then the rest demand that either the goobermint either fully fund it, or its ANTIFA time) as President Trump's mean tweets.

So if the GOP actually wants to do any cutting, they had better be able to pass a camel through the eye of a needle, because fiscal conservatism is f'ing dead in the United States, and you missed the funeral.

Only a democrat thinks keep borrowing money from a loan shark will pay off the debt.

Those people need a net and a ride to the happy farm.

Not only stop the raising of the ceiling, reduce it. My Granddaughters are NOT going to be broke because of the Charlatans in DC! Also, they will NEVER EAT BUGS (unless they do that in the backyard..)

Well damn, guess time for me to write the IRS IOUs.... turn around is fair play. I mean if the US intends someday to make good on the debt, well all I can say is ditto!

Americans average $2500 per month in gross wages and their share of the national debt is about $96,000 each. Higher interest rates have borrowing costs headed to 4.2% per annum or 0.35% per month or $336 per month for each person. If Congress raises the debt ceiling by 6% or 2 trillion then this amount will rise to over $360 per month for each person and shrink disposable income significantly.

What every debt ceiling increase request should be reported as is like an extra 15 year mortgage being thrown on to every American like a 2nd mortgage.

Having an unlimited national debt ceiling would be national suicide. Its pretty shocking that some politicians are dumbly pushing for this.

The debt ceiling is part of the reason why SA is leaving the dollar standard.

Seriously: buy silver and gold.

Both in hold-in-your-hand form and also in private bailment vaults where you can withdraw metal.

Avoid ETFS and buying gold through a bank
