Perhaps you'd do well to emulate the very small number of Democrats here who aren't deranged, incompetent trolls rather than simply spewing, baiting and derailing.
It is indeed all about funding the government. Is we don't borrow money we run out. So yes, it's about funding.
With borrowed money.
Which they gleefully did three times during the last administration.
Republicans Filibuster Bill Averting Government Shutdown, Debt Default
Congress has only a few days to act before the federal government shuts down and begins furloughing workers in the middle of a pandemic.www.huffpost.com
McConnell has said how important it is to pass this...and blocks it's passage.
These GOP freaks need to be voted OUT
WE need to stop the spending......Cut spending...ship out the illegals and refugees, end the welfare nonsense for able bodied breeders, end the scams and graft...Republicans Filibuster Bill Averting Government Shutdown, Debt Default

So what?FILIBUSTER!!
Clean your ears out, gramps.
Another idiot incapable of answering a question, but hey kudos for finding new and innovative ways to insert your commie obsession into a discussion.I always questioned your IQ, but for you to make such a statement is ludicrous
Paying our bills would mean a reduction of the standard of living. Which has been dropping in real terms since the last thread to the gold standard was cut in 1971 from the Bretton Woods agreement after WW 2.Raising the debt ceiling used to be a routine thing. Both parties cooperated, because we used have that understood how to cooperate and get things done that had to get done.
For some years now, every year, they brought us to the brink of disaster by refusing to do this for PURELY partisan gain. Likewise, how many times have we come to the brink of shut down or actual shut down in the last few decades compared with before? This crap, along with stuff like a shocking lack Congressional oversight in the Afghan war and other things, shows how incredibly disfunctional our Congress has become
It has NOTHING to do with incurring more debt, we already incurred it. We owe. It I’d 100% about paying our bills and we have one loon here who thinks paying our bills is “communism”.
What do you think repercussions of a default would be?Paying our bills would mean a reduction of the standard of living. Which has been dropping in real terms since the last thread to the gold standard was cut in 1971 from the Bretton Woods agreement after WW 2.
Our political system incentivizes this stuff.Raising the debt ceiling used to be a routine thing. Both parties cooperated, because we used have that understood how to cooperate and get things done that had to get done.

Its interesting that this is such a massive deal yet not one of those previous times the government shut down has ever produced any serious consequences.Republican have always been big on shutting down the government. What else is new?

"Stopping the spending" is one thing.WE need to stop the spending......Cut spending...ship out the illegals and refugees, end the welfare nonsense for able bodied breeders, end the scams and graft...
Oh really?Its interesting that this is such a massive deal yet not one of those previous times the government shut down has ever produced any serious consequences.
So pointing out hypocrisy is now whataboutism?
Yes, I see how it has imploded the economy the last 20 times it happened....Oh really?
It costs millions every time and has at least once caused our national credit rating to be downgraded.
If you want to implode the economy ...this is one real good way to do it
So that's how the minority party is gumming up the works.So what?
Every time the Republicans do this they are yanking on the pin of a hand grenade that will blow up the economy.Yes, I see how it has imploded the economy the last 20 times it happened....
Meanwhile, in the real world, the economy has imploded many times. Never once because of a government shutdown.
You mean like someone who lives completely out of their means running up credit cards month after month, year after year, to the point where the carrying costs (especially after the interest rates will have to go up to cut inflation) will be unaffordable, that we should just let the debt get bigger and bigger?Raising the debt ceiling used to be a routine thing. Both parties cooperated, because we used have that understood how to cooperate and get things done that had to get done.
