60% of America agrees with Republicans that spending cuts must come with raising the debt ceiling.

[Nostra]

Once again Democrats are on the wrong side of America.

Hell, we have been in favor of spending cuts everytime this debt ceiling shit has come up.

And every administration has done the same thing. Holding the people hostage over pork barrel spending.

Every administration has had to raise the debt ceiling. And everytime, the party not in power screams bloody murder. Then they get in power and suddenly everything changes.

 

[shockedcanadian]

And 40% failed economics and math or just don't care.

Dems don't care, they still think that they are superior to anyone else....Just ask them.

But will still try to blame Republicans because they wouldn't just raise it without conditions.

Democrats are irresponsible spenders. They used to try to cover that up but now they just don't give a fuck. They act like they're the last generation of Americans. Selfish bastards. We already raised our debt limit 90 times. What kind of bank would give credit to that kind of idiot?

Actually, Democrats support …Tax and Spend
Republicans support….Cut Taxes and Spend

Which is more irresponsible?

Anytime you spend more than you make you are irresponsible.

How about we hold ALL elected officials to the same standard and quit trying to justify what "our" party does while crucifying the othe party for doing the same.

Since revenues go up after tax cuts, it is more responsible to let the people keep more of the money they earn, Simp.

Paying our debt is about previous spending and spending on programs by law. Refusing to pay those bills by not raising the limit is unconstitutional. In fact questioning those bills is unconstitutional.

"The validity of the public debt of the United States, authorized by law, including debts incurred for payment of pensions and bounties for services in suppressing insurrection or rebellion, shall not be questioned."

Doesn't the rabid right hold that "shall not" as practically a Constitutional absolute?

We bring in enough revenue every month to pay our debt, Simp.

That would mean we'd probably have to give every politician the chair. So why don't we just back the candidates who propose cutting spending? That's a no brainer.

You should call CNN and complain, Simp.

Both are irresponsible when you are $34 trillion in debt. We need to cut spending and increase taxes on everyone, we all got into this together and we need to get out of it together.

Is that why we've run a deficit nearly every year since WWII, cause we make enough to pay our debts?

Covering our debt payments isn’t the only thing we spend on, you ginormous moron.

A near balanced budget amendment with a plan to pay down the nation debt.

Do it for the children.

So CNN is lying?

The interest payments to our creditors is part of our debt.
