  1. What’s preventing Biden from raising the debt ceiling unilaterally with a few executive orders? Can he not order Treasury to issue the necessary bonds using the language of the 14th Amendment as justification?

  2. Our billionaires own spaceships and take my stimulus because they can cheat the IRS ! WTH is going on , I can't even take my mom to the movies !

  3. Why is it so hard to tax the richest people! They sure don't look like it will hurt them at all ?? I don't get it ? We are the wealthiest country, with the most greed I have ever witnessed!

  4. Listen carefully GOP, the Trump base is the TRUMP BASE. None of them are going to vote for anyone but Trump. So stop trying to avoid stepping on their toes

  5. The title of this video was supposed to be about the country defaulting on the debit, yet more time was spent on why Trump shouldn't ren for office.

    In addition, why are you pretending to discuss the debate problem when you neglected to mention that House Speaker McCarthy put together with the Republicans a debt limit plan 3 months ago and Biden just now shows up after McCarthy tried to get a hold of him beforehand? Not only Biden didn't come to an agreement, but was supposed to meet McCarthy today to finish the discussion, yet Biden postponed until next week sometime?

  6. 2040 i bonds and ee bonds mature

  7. The Republicans are now Maga or, according to Boebert Ultra Maga.

  8. So the House Republicans will pass this rumored deal between Biden and McCarthy? Or are they counting on the Democrats and a few Republicans passing it?

  9. Republicans lawmakers their silence to gun violence

  10. …to fix the debt problem
    TAX THE 1% THEIR FAIR SHARE.
    😊

  11. LOL CUT ALL DEI AND CRT

  12. Magas not all of gop yet so why won't they thier stocks will fall they will lose money like thier elite donors

  13. If only a certain amount of immigrants are allowed each year, just send the rest back. It makes sense to me.

  14. If only 2500 immigrants are allowed i

  15. Strategy 101: assure any dumpty fan you meet that she/he is correct about rigged elections and smart people don't even bother to vote in any election.

  16. What I want to know is WHY is Santos still voting on anything?

  17. Start debt reduction with 50% reduction Congressional PAY & Benefits!

  18. πŸŽ‰πŸŽ‰πŸŽ‰ happy mother's day

  19. YOU GOT IT LADY. IMMIGRANTS AT THE BORDER WILL VOTE FOR YOU.
    HEY BIDEN, 8 MORE YEARS ❀❀❀. LET US DRINK BUD LIGHT❀❀❀

  20. California Governor Newsom says California is in a 32 billion dollar deficit. 10 billion more than estimated.
    Wheeewwww those liberal policies hard at work again πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

  21. Tara Reed can sue Biden for abuse now that President Trump case set precedent.

  22. Suzan is giddy with the idea of a horse race. She is one of those pundits that is more concerned with the horse race than the fate of Democracy.

  23. The media creates and sustains crises. GOP is dealing in bad faith. What were the cuts the GOP made under Trump when the Dems increased the debt limit? How come every time the Dems are president and the GOP holds the house, the stupid TEA Party MAGA morons always hold Americans to ransom and Americans allow them. And to the hypocrisy that Trump said when he was president nothing to cut and the debt ceiling is sacred yet Trump instigates the stupid GOP morons to continue to hold America hostage. The media is part of it.

  24. That is fake because if joe Biden, Kevin, Jeffery and chuck maje make deal for debt ceiling then it will just pass because that is what all parties involved agreed upon.

  25. Since the Federal Reserve is broke they are starting to use the CBDC Federal Crypto for interbank transfers in July. Made up money. It's not even Fiat. Just pretend currency created out of nothing since they ran out of something. Weimar Republic Hyperinflation.

  26. Democrats are a bunch of P. Biden should just take their dare, if and when they fail. That will end all future negation over the debt.

  27. No deal. I want to see if these Christian conservatives in their southern state are as good as they say they are.. No Deal.

  28. VOTED THE PRESIDENT ,NOT AGAIN.

  29. GOP solution cut your benefits but keep collecting the tax to pay for wealthy tax cuts TYPICAL GOP
