It Looks Like House Republicans Are Preparing to Cave on the Debt Limit
Red State ^ | 4/13/23 | Joe Cunningham

Posted on 04/13/2023 4:15:25 PM PDT by CFW

For months now, the Democrats have been attacking the Republicans, accusing them of attempting to cause the U.S. to default on its financial obligations. Meanwhile, the GOP has insisted they aren’t going to cave on the debt limit but also says they are looking for cuts to address Washington D.C.’s exorbitant spending. That has become the rallying cry that has gotten conservatives behind House Speaker Kevin McCarthy.

But, behind the scenes, there appears to be very little progress on actually finding a path forward on this. McCarthy hasn’t spoken with or negotiated with President Joe Biden in months, and the plan GOP leadership is coming up with amounts to little more than “Throw all the red meat at the wall and see what sticks.”

Punchbowl News has more on this in its morning newsletter, breaking down what appears to be the GOP plan.

Dems will never give an inch.

And GOP always gives up without getting anything for We The People.

By the time 2008, 2012, and 2020 elections happened, the democrat party had ceased to exist (having been subsumed by the american communist party) and the elections were stolen by people who despised America and everything it stood for...

Ronald Reagan tried to warn us...
Very few listened...《》《》《》

Sad, just real sad.

God inserting His Power in the situation is our only hope.

That’s a Prater in Jesus’s Name AMEN!

What were the main differences between Republicans and Democrats, 1950-’70? I asked my parents, who are 87, and they don’t remember. I used google, and that didn’t help. I think that, during that period, the majority of Americans were pro-life, pro-gun rights, and anti-gay marriage.

"... the majority of Americans were pro-life, pro-gun rights, and anti-gay marriage."

Absolutely correct!
In addition, there were many other differences:

"What were the main differences between Republicans and Democrats, 1950-’70?"

Collect a list of all today's RINOs...
Most of them would have been the moderate Democrats back in the 40s, 50s, and early 60s...
Patriotic, America-loving, and mostly uncorrupted Democrats...

However, beginning in the 60s, the American communists began a steady infiltration of the Democrat party and, ultimately, there was no longer room in the tent for the moderates...
The moderates switched parties and, by the 2000s, they were fully established as the RINOs we have today...

The Democrat Party, ultimately, ceased to exist as it was gradually subsumed by the American Communist Party between 1964 and 2008 when it ceased to exist in anything other than being a cover name...

The Democrat Party exists in the minds of the feeble subservient serfs who continually refer to these communists as democrats...
This subservience was the primary reason why America was destroyed as the land of freedom, liberty, and capitalism...
