Biden Deliberately Going to Trash the Debt Ceiling

[bendog]

America might fall if we default. Severe hardship and the death of million...a global depression.

Only a democrat would wish for such a thing!

pfft. Be gone!

SS isn't part of the dept. It's an entity unto itself.

The problem is the politicians already spent that money. If the government shuts down, the collecting part will not stop. So ss will be fine.

 

[Mac1958]

The GQP are domestic economic terrorists.

 

[bendog]

At some point interest on the debt will blot out spending on stuff that even libs want

of for fucks sake. The gop has no more interest in less deficits than the dems. You cannot be this blind.

 

[Mac1958]

It had spending cuts in it and Biden didn't like that. We as a nation are going have to cut spending now. We have 5 other countries trying to start a new currency on the world market to replace the dollar. They have gold and other rare minerals backing theirs. We have nothing but debt and if that dies happen our economy will collapse.

So the answer is, the GQP is choosing to do this. It does not have to.

And it's so nice for you folks to suddenly start "caring" about spending.

What spending cuts has the gop identified? Biden agreed to hold spending lower then in 23, and pull back stimulus funds.

I'm not a huge Biden fan, but I really don't see the specifics of yours, or the gop's, complaints. The gop won't identify the cuts they demand. Good luck with that. I think Biden will take that up for a vote, and let it fall where it will.

But, I'm sure he'd prefer just a deal to get him through Nov 24.

What's in the US House Republicans' debt-ceiling spending-cut bill?

The Republican-led U.S. House of Representatives has passed a bill that pairs $4.8 trillion of spending cuts with an increase in the federal government's $31.4 trillion debt ceiling. It has no chance of passing the Democratic-led Senate, but is meant to pressure Democratic President Joe Biden...

Half the GOP wants the country to burn down. The other half are just stupid.

I'm glad you can admit that the GQP is doing this BY CHOICE, causing this possible disaster. Thanks.

Both parties have put us here (including the times the GQP bent over on the debt ceiling for Trump). It's time for them to work together to get us out.

Its time for both parties to do without, cut their budget, and start paying off the debt.

The House did its job. They shouldn't negotiate another thing. Leave it to the dems and let them do what they will.

 

[jknowgood]

I really don't care if the government shuts down. Less time these idiots have to make stupid policies and other crap that affects our lives negatively. Also I don't rely on goverment for anything.

Yes I did in my first statement, I don't care. I always think the less government is going. The worst we are, the only thing the federal goverment should do. Is protect the homeland and not much else, but now they are in almost every aspect of our lives.

I saw that. A bit "light" on specific cuts from the gop.

Look, biden's agreed to hold spending under 23 and claw back stimulus. Like I said, I'm not a huge fan, but what has the gop given up in specifics?

 

[citygator]

The senate and the President did its job. Leave it to the House to do what they will.

Actually the only hope to save our economy is through fiscal conservatives, almost all of which are republicans

There are enough to worry the GOP leadership, but not yet enough to run congress

Don't be spewing that shit, you folks have NEVER cared about spending more money than they take in. Every frickin' time there is a spending bill it is ALWAYS the democrats that want to spend more than the GOP, ALWAYS. It ain't like the GOP are all that fiscally responsible themselves, but at least they ain't nearly as bad as the democrats.

No, both parties have sacked the treasury and laugh as the populace reaps the rancid fruit.

The GOP did their job and sent Biden a budget. Why doesn't Biden want to negotiate with them. Seems like his is taking the ball and running home. That makes it his problem.

They added 25% of the debt the last 4 years. GOP is only interested in politics.

 

[Toddsterpatriot]

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.

Until the money goes out the door, it can be unspent.

Eventually it's going to burn down, why not stop it now? We have record inflation because our debt and if we keep this up. Nobody will be able to afford a loaf of bread.

Thats like a sick man with heart disease who doesent like the taste of the medicine that keeps him alive

The big spending GOP swamp rats may not like it bit even they are beginning to see the necessity
