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

[Hutch Starskey]

Yep, libs did that when they raided it….

Uh huh.
Now what’s left to get your “massive” cuts from then?

 

[The5thHorseman]

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.

Stop talking.

You're an idiot.

You've spent decades electing profligates because they promised to save you from soshulism.

 

[meaner gene]

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

First things first. Congress isn't the one spending, they're the one authorizing the executive to spend the money they were budgeted.

So it would be an executive agency spending every dollar congress authorized them to spend.

Congress is doing the spending, turd.

Who do you think you're fooling?

 

[meaner gene]

and WHERE they authorized to spend them

The "where" is contained in the budget that congress passed (authorization).
Congress gives a separate authorization (appropriation) for the agency to actually spend a specified amount of money from their budget.

What is the difference between congressional authorization and appropriation?

First, authorization bills establish, continue, or modify agencies or programs. Second, appropriations measures may provide spending for the agencies and programs previously authorized.

And tax cuts for the rich, gets them more money? Think for once.

Indeed, revenue says so. But, debt ceiling, no

I'm trying to educate the "fool" who uses big words without knowing what they mean. Please look up the difference between deficit and debt. Then look up the difference between appropriation and authorization.

You have no clue what you're talking about because you keep using the wrong words.

How about ZERO when Obummer was in the White House? These fucking Democrats have always been about expanding the size and scope of government, regardless of what level, from dog catcher to the current moron-in-chief, who I hope suffers from a fatal cerebral aneurysm soon.

Scary, huh? And PA elected Uncle Festerman on top of it. They don't care who sits in the seats, so long as there's a (D) next to their name. It's all about asserting permanent one party control with these Communists. Rush was right when he called Democrats the enemy.

 

[The5thHorseman]

You're an idiot.

Are you going to admit that you have CONSISTENTLY voted for big spenders?

If the spending is in defense and the military, then it is right because it is CONSTITUTIONALLY MANDATED!!!! Dumbfuck Communist scum.

You people are morons.

Defense spending is the biggest boondoggle in the budget.

“The truth is our rate of debt growth can’t be maintained indefinitely. In fiscal year 2020, debt held by the public reached about 100 percent of gross domestic product, up from 79 percent a year earlier. We estimate that left unchecked, the debt will grow to 200 percent of GDP in 2048, well beyond historic levels.”
