And yet, Fitch threatens a downgrade on US debt because Republicans are “playing politics” with the debt ceiling. This is like saying that an alcoholic’s real problem is that his family tries to stop him from getting more booze.
It will be difficult for Democrats because such a huge percentage of their voters are net benefit recipients. Any cut at all damages their voter turnout - and their fraud efforts will have to be made more obvious to compensate.
If the Democrats hang tough, the federal government may go back its 1923 levels of spending for health care, education and voter bribery.
Isn’t this the guy who thought he was so clever eating a bucket of fried chicken on the house floor?
Let’s cut foreign spending first and see how it goes .
Coons needs a refresher at Alcoholics Anonymous.
The ‘rats say they need almost 3 trillion more per year than they did in 2019, and there’s no way to cut a dime.
Eff these people, they’re trying to kill us. Just do it.
Cut foreign aid first idiots. I so despise these people. Looking at them makes me queasy.
Yes, well, if Coons wants more spending, let him offer a proposal to pay for it.

Dear Sen. Coons, When hamburgers cost $15 you don’t buy as many, you should try that some time.
Nothing would please me more than a government shutdown. Federal workforce can be reduced by half and things would go on as normal sans the 50% sitting around doing nothing.
