Is it "Congress's" Constitutional Duty To Raise The Debt Ceiling?

[meaner gene]

Budgets are not debts, moron. They are promises to spend.

And authorizations are permission to spend. Yet congress gave more permission to spend, than they had revenues to cover that spending. Hence why the debt will exceed the current debt limit.

 

[meaner gene]

Biden already cut the deficit by $1.5 trillion.

ROLF! That was after he increased it by $5 trillion

Apparently you don't know the difference between deficit and debt.

Oh Jesus. I have said many times that we are more fiscally responsible when we have a Democratic president and a Republican Congress to stop them. No other combination works. You're concentrating too much on the president when it is the Congress who passes spending bills. Yes, when Republicans control Congress, they make it look like the Democratic president was fiscally responsible when, in reality, it was the Republicans in Congress, not the president. So, yes, we should be voting for those Republicans in Congress who actually did it, like what just happened. By the way, we have more elections in this country than just for president.

AllI am looking for is the ANSWER to MY QUESTION.

It is "yes" or "no"...

Now quit your goddamned fucking dodging.

 

[The5thHorseman]

You haven't either.

Bri,

I've ONLY voted for such.

 

[The5thHorseman]

It's a fact.

No, bri.

It's crap.

You're ignorant.

the constitution requires them to pay off the debt not raise it,,

I have decided that since I cannot pay my debt, I'm just raising my debt ceiling. That way, I can access more credit!!

I gave you my answer. Yes, I have voted to re-elect Republicans who have forced democratic presidents to be fiscally responsible. But, your question doesn't have the proper context. Presidents are not dictators. Often times, with many things, they are where the buck stops, both good and bad. Is president the only office you vote for?

Name the most fiscally responsible POTUS for whom you've voted.

You're an asshole.

Only a tax-and-spend moron believes Congress should spend every dollar it's authorized to spend.

You're the one who believes Biden reduced the deficit when all he did is run out of authority to spend.

 

[progressive hunter]

cant,,

ROFL! Yeah, right.

anytime thats happened its because of dbl book keeping that would send the average person to jail for doing

YOU'RE the asshole. I have explained to you numerous times that the only time Democratic presidents are fiscally responsible is when a Republican Congress forces them to be so, exactly like what just happened. Republicans forced Biden to spend less money. And, yes, I will continue voting for the actual people who are responsible for Democrat presidents spending less money - Republicans. And, I have asked you more than once if president is the only office you vote for. You refuse to answer.

LOL. Does that mean you're asking him if he prints counterfeit money, like the US government does? The more counterfeit money the US prints, the more prices rise, which hurts the poor the most.

Hell, for every dollar in tax receipts the government collects, they spend two.
