Biden Deliberately Going to Trash the Debt Ceiling

[Desperado]

My take on this is that Biden is so far behind in the polls his only hope is to crash the system and blame it on the GOP. The dems will do anything to retain their power

I cannot argue with your angle on this topic. This is straight out of their playbook.

I don't think these poor souls understand that the GQP is holding this up when it doesn't have to. This is their choice.

Who knows what they're told in their universe.

And it will be the GOP's fault. Political hostage taking. Raising the debt ceiling wasn't an issue for Republicans when Trump was President.

Perhaps, the budget process is the correct place to start. Not the paying of debts authorized in budgets is just political brinksmanship, akin to Russian Roulette. Welshing on your debts is a non-starter, no matter what your political persuasion, in private life, business life or public policy.

Nope.

gOP owns this.

Why are the dems and biden holding this country hostage?

GOP has passed a spending Bill in the House with
spending cuts, What is Joe's plan? Stonewalling
By the way, Trump isn't president.

 

[Mac1958]

Nope.

Do you think it's possible that they don't know how this works?

As a senator, Biden voted against raising the debt ceiling 9 times...

Gop sent Biden a plan will raising the debt ceiling. He refused it, he owns this.

Take it to the budget negotiation process. That's where it belongs. Where you negotiate things like tax hikes/cuts and spending cuts/increases. Not in raising the debt ceiling. That money has already been spent.
I don't give a shit if Trump's President of your local fan club. You didn't say boo when Republicans automatically raised the debt ceiling. Now that a Democrat is in office you've got an issue with it. Please.

Did you say this same thing when Trump shut down the Govt after being sent a spending bill by the House that he refused to sign?

Your dementia ridden president does not want to negotiate seriously. He's stonewalling.
And I am in the same tent as Desperado as to why.

Did you say boo when Republicans automatically raised the debt ceiling under Trump? There was no negotiation. Negotiations are for budget talks.
It's a simple question.

Nope.

I didn't think that was true when dems were "demanding a clean bill," which is hyperbole and they didn't really.

But Biden's agreed to spend less in 24 than 23. And McCarthy can't get his own party to take that as "yes."

What should Biden give?

 

[Mac1958]

Gop sent Biden a plan will raising the debt ceiling. He refused it, he owns this.

So the GQP had to do that? They had to attach the spending bill? That's a requirement of this process?

Yes or no?

 

[wamose]

Biden has exhibited an irresponsible side ever since he thought it was acceptable to shower with his young daughter. You can't trust that man or his dysfunctional party. I could see him forcing a shutdown.
