Another Biden administration historic accomplishment on hitting the debt ceiling. Great job. Fjb
Democrats we announce a enhanced $1.7 trillion dollar spending plan, but how will we pay for it, don't ask silly questions.
There is no need for a constitutional ammendment for 'criminal" political corporate spending upheld by "corrupt" courts.
especially by the democraps do nothing southern border congress.
individuals can make donations to government.
just because corporations pay income tax, does not give it a individual right to be manupulated by another vote for a individial or group of individuals running the corp. –
Bottom line they are donating & voting twice .
it is the corrupts courts unconstitutional delusional interpretation thats the problem done in many areas to undermine law thru judicial activism to bankrupt the country for delusional rights that others are forced to pay for, not funded & approved by congress, thru no fault of the individuals own.
The courts corruptly forced government to pay for services not funded or approved by congress thru frauds against the court.
and continue to do so.
Sometimes it gotta worse for things to get better increase the debt change nothing it only makes an issue remain an issue. We are seeing massive amounts of layoffs from major corporate chain like, Amazon, Microsoft, Tesla, Twitter lay people off, it sad they wanna raise the debt level but have no real plan in place. I keep hearing how it will effect the live of many people, but I'm not hearing what they have in motion a plan to better our economy moving forward.
Apparently Republican don't understand what the debt ceiling is or what the constitution says about it: Fourteenth Amendment, Section 4:
The validity of the public debt of the United States, authorized by law, including debts incurred for payment of pensions and bounties for services in suppressing insurrection or rebellion, shall not be questioned.
Therefore, if Republicans want to question the debt ceiling, they are showing their own ignorance of the Constitution and should resign and go back to school.
Thank you Republicans! Now cut politician salary and jobs.
Are you going to write more stimulus checks for us? We voted the people in to do one thing and that is to work for us people. If you are not going to do that we can get rid of our vote and vote in people that are actually going to do the work.
Fun fact, republicans only push back on the debt ceiling when a democrat is in the White House. They again want to trash the economy and then blame it on Biden, their favorite party trick. They never pushed back when Trump, either of the Bushes, or Reagan were in office!!!
The U S is a joke
It nothing to worry about they will get done
You people are only going closer to absolute insanity. Nobody knows what numbers look like. I'm not talking about symbols. $$$$$123456789000000000000
Life on this planet is crazy. Everything is FREE. YOU IDIOTS!!!
Of course they’ll raise it- it is just a charade- that want to spend money to Ukraine
How much spending was reduced when Trump added 8.4 Trillion to foreign debt?
Well when you do not have extra money to spend maybe you should cut your debt. Biden needs to negotiate. There is a limit.
Thank you God.
GOP MOSCOW ties explain path to destroy America.
Good. let it all burn so that the great reset happens and we all get to use central bank digital currency!
I say let the nation default! Americans need to see first hand what happens when the USA defaults on its debt. Maybe then we'll grow some brains to elect the right people for the job!
You mean democrats refuse to cut reckless spending?
The American government acting like their citizens' credit card…Americans never paid taxes that can cover all of their government spending for decades.
This is a good time to think about ousting republicans. This will delay social security checks, close national parks, push us deeper into a recession… the list goes on.
