Speaker Kevin McCarthy said there was no progress in the discussions with Joe Biden on raising the debt ceiling. Reporters weren’t allowed to stay during the negotiations even though Biden presents his administration as the most transparent ever.
“We’re not gonna take any questions now. We’re gonna get started and solve all the world’s problems,” Biden said as reporters were kicked out.
Biden will cut nothing despite our $31 trillion debt and trillion-dollar deficits.
Joe Biden waited 97 days before he even discussed the debt ceiling. McCarthy explained his position and the path we’re on, spending more than we take in for 21 years straight.
“The Democrats, when they took the majority, and they increased it by 6 trillion they’re now spending 23,24% of the GDP for 21 straight years. We have spent more money than we brought in. So you want us to continue down this same path. How can you look at your children or grandchildren? How can you simply say to them that I’ve wasted your future?
Biden won’t even cut unspent COVID money despite the fact that the pandemic is over. McCarthy talked about cutting the $50-$60 billion that wasn’t spent on COVID to no avail.
He talked about Biden’s inaction as banks fail and millions pour across our borders, including terrorists.
“I mean think about what’s happening, OK? You got banks failing. Why? Because they spent so much money inflation happened, interest rates went up. … three of the four largest banks failures have just happened in the last three months but the president never called the four leaders down.
“You’ve got millions of people coming across our border. Do you realize in the month of February, we caught more people coming across our border illegally on the terrorist watch list then we caught the entire time during the last administration? Do you feel safer because of it? And now we watch hundreds of thousands of people ready to come on Thursday. Does the Democrats or the president have a bill to solve this problem? No…”
It appears that Biden has no intention of negotiating. We might see the 14th Amendment used to circumvent Congress, and raise the debt ceiling.
Republicans hold firm for our children and grandchildren.
😂😂😂😂. Joementia is wasting all our time. Not just kevmac.
By refusing to reach an agreement, the Democrats mean to blame the Republicans for the coming financial meltdown. They are trying to create excuses for what they all know is coming.
Exactly. The Republicans will likely blink at some point, because they realize this as well. I hope they don't. I hope they hold out the truth no matter what slings and arrows come their way.
For now.
It’s interesting how the headline can be read two completely different ways.
Yes.................
Joey Crappy Pants threatens to invoke the 14th Amendment to circumvent Congress, and raise the debt ceiling.
I say to Republicans, grow some BALLS and make them do it. Make Joey and Democrats circumvent the Constitution. If that act doesn’t wake people up, then the Great American Experiment is finished. As usual Greed & Corruption destroy what was good.
That 14th Amendment stuff is a bluff from a pair of deuces.................
Someone needs to call their bluff. Repubs will fold like usual. So, a pair of deuces could easily be a winning hand.
Correct. The power to raise the debt limit lies squarely in the hands of Congress. Any attempts to bypass congress or veto will cause a financial melt down not seen since Carters admin.
Talking high finance with a guy who just wants his puddin cup. 😆
We have inflation because Biden refuses to Drill Baby, Drill! US Energy Independence is the answer.
Biden has always been a punk, and now he is a demented punk.
This is what happens when you buy votes - every cut costs you several million of them.
Then default Biden.
