Americans are deeply divided when it comes to the debt ceiling.

While politicians in Washington, D.C. meet in hopes of reaching an agreement that would allow the federal government to take on debt above the current statutory limit, nearly half of Americans say the cap should be left in place, according to a Wall Street Journal poll released Wednesday.

The poll found that 45 percent of respondents said they did not favor Congress lifting the debt ceiling. Forty-four percent favor lifting it.

Hey!

Ya gotta understand!

Congresscritters got a wholebunchalotta pay-outs to deliver

[ActresponsiblyinVA]

No worry. Our children and grandchildren will have to pay the debt or at least pay the carrying cost of the debt which will soon dominate the budget.

That's the sane half that knows where socialism leads too.

The other less than half dumbasses are out there pissin' and moanin' about slavery in this country 300 years ago and are now prepared to accept the communist version of slavery and give it a spin. Morons.

Nearly Half of Americans Say We Should Not Raise the Debt Ceiling

"Nearly" half? Wow, that's too small.

Hopefully the WSJ poll is bogus.

Unfortunately, “the retarded” can vote. If the Dems have enough of these people in the right locations, they can effectively make the Debt Ceiling a quaint little thing of the past.

Spending other people’s money is more addictive than heroin.
Congress critters are addicted to it, with no desire to seek help.

That half loves free money from the government.

[Brian Griffin]

“when the US Treasury called the fourth bond on April 15, 1934, it defaulted on this term by refusing to redeem the bond in gold, and neither did it account for the devaluation of the dollar from $20.67 per troy ounce of gold (the 1918 standard of value) to $35 per ounce. The 21 million bond holders therefore lost 139 million troy ounces of gold, or approximately 41% of the bond’s principal”

"Nearly Half of Americans Say We Should Not Raise the Debt Ceiling"

---

ALL Americans need to wise up to the major constitutional scandal that the debt ceiling is based mostly on unconstitutional, unaccountable federal taxing and spending by the very corrupt, constitutionally undefined political parties imo.

• "Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States." —Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.

• “If the tax be not proposed for the common defence, or general welfare, but for other objects, wholly extraneous, (as for instance, for propagating Mahometanism among the Turks, or giving aids and subsidies to a foreign nation, to build palaces for its kings, or erect monuments to its heroes,) it would be wholly indefensible upon constitutional principles [emphases added].” — Justice Joseph Story, Commentaries on the Constitution 2 (1833).

• ”Simply this, that the care of the property, the liberty, and the life of the citizen, under the solemn sanction of an oath imposed by your Constitution, is in the States and not in the federal government [emphases added]. I have sought to effect no change in that respect in the Constitution of the country.” —John Bingham, Congressional. Globe. 1866, page 1292 (see top half of third column)

• Pelosi: "We have to pass the bill so that you can find out what is in it." (non-FR; 6 sec.)

• “Cherish, therefore, the spirit of our people, and keep alive their attention. If once they become inattentive to the public affairs, you and I, and Congress and Assemblies, judges and governors, shall all become wolves [emphasis added]. It seems to be the law of our general nature.” - Thomas Jefferson (Letter to Edward Carrington January 16, 1787)

• Democrats Are Terrified Of An Educated And Informed Public (3.12.23)

The definition of insanity is reelecting your beloved career state and federal lawmakers and executives over and over again, expecting different results every time.

I wish I could call my bank, credit card company, etc., and tell them I won’t be able to pay my bills unless they raise my credit limit. But I have a feeling it wouldn’t work out so well.
