  1. The GOP never had a problem raising the debt ceiling during Trump's era. Obviously, it's all about the Republicans playing politics and not about what's best for the country.

  2. McCarthy is the whole problem 🤬🤬🤬🤬💯💯💯💯💯👍👍

  3. Yeah well Biden put out his budget months ago and they didn’t negotiate they still aren’t. Raise the debt ceiling and then negotiate on the budget as it has always been done previously. Eliminate a debt ceiling all together. All Republicans need to be voted out. Matt Geats said they don’t negotiate with the hostages. They don’t want to lower the deficit or they would raise taxes. The money on the debt ceiling is all money the congress has already spent.

  4. No you should raise it and not hold the US economy hostage. Raise taxes if you really want to end the debt. This is only to do harm to Biden the the Democrats us all it is.

  5. Joe should not be stealing from the next generation, it's wrong. He's putting kids today in deep deep debt they may never get out of. They are telling kids in school, they will have to work until they die. No retirement. We can do better than Joe….

  6. McCarthy is so right.

  7. There's no negotiating paying your debts!

  8. Anyone defending or supporting this GOP spending bill, HASN'T read the bill. It is 90% for Big Oil, and cuts to everyone except the rich, per usual.
    If the GOP REALLY wanted to balance the budget they would take back the 2 trillion in tax cuts for their wealthy friends.

  9. The GOP keeps saying how in debt and broke we are, yet they continue to give themselves raises, and free tax handouts to the rich. So…Which is it?
    Or are they just ignoring the debt, while STILL spending like an 18 year old with a credit card?

  10. Joe is the crisis, thank your fellow Democrat today

  11. Get rid of both parties

  12. WORST PRESIDENT AMERICA HAS EVER HAD JOE BIDEN!!!!

  13. Give the republicans what they want default it will hurt their billionaire mates

  14. They are both guilty crying the same thing like two little kids. No side is right when the American people pay the price.

  15. More words of turds from the extreme right.

  16. Pay your bills,you want to tear apart the system get voted in 2024

  17. Republicans' cut will hurt veterans, seniors, students, low-income families, etc.

    We can lower debt by raising tax to richest, but Republicans repudiate.

    Under Trump raised the debt 3 times and Democrats passed without demand.

  18. 90% of the commentators are bout to get wrecked.

  19. Do what Reagan did and pull money out of other departments and pay the bills until they all cave

  20. Repubs are full of crap. They had no idea what theywanted and still dont

  21. Shuuuuuuut up. Political theater on both parties. Shaaaaaaaame

  22. GOP is holding a grenade over our countries future… The debt ceiling isn't about spending new money but instead about paying our existing DEBTS. Threatening to destroy our economy because you don't have control of both houses is nothing short of terrorism.

  23. I’m surprised if he actually showed up to the table

  24. Biden should invoke article 4 of the 14th amendment and put an end to this b*******. You can't be sued for upholding your oath to the Constitution. You could lose your job if you don't.
