  1. I can’t believe that Americans are going to have to roll over and take this dirty deal. I could kick Biden and the Dems for not raising the debt ceiling before the midterms. Now regular folks and the environment are going to have to pay the price.
    These people do not deserve to be in charge of anything outside their own personal private Idaho’s.

  2. Do you owe less than you make in a year? We make enough in a year to pay off our entire national debt. The US debt to gross domestic product ratio is no way out of line with others like France, Canada, Spain, and forget Japan, they owe and owe big, over double what they make in a year. Do you owe less than you make in a year? I'll bet you wish you did.

  3. Hi ok good 👍👍👍

  4. Stop trying to trim it.
    Throw out the debt limit.
    Print up money, as much as you need

    Fund the projects you like
    Give your pay a good hike.
    Then a bonus to flatter your greed.

    Debt is money to spend
    Debt is wealth without end
    Just as long as there's someone who'll buy

    But you mustn't forget
    When you've nought left but debt
    You're a slave till the day that you die.

  5. Democrats weird ideology has painted them into a corner. If they don't pass it they look like obstructionist fools.

    Dem: 98 24 91 = 213
    TTL : 233 78 124 = 435

    Hakeem Jeffries boasted last night after the debt ceiling bill passed 314 yeas and 117 nea's. He made comments to the effect that democrats had taken back the house because of their 165 votes (Dems) vs republicans 149 showing the bill to pass with 314 votes. But these votes were possible because the clock went into overtime.
    At the moment the clock ran to 0:00 the votes were: Republicans: 135, Democrats: 98 = 233 votes. Two hundred and eighteen votes were needed for this to pass. So in essence this bill passed with a majority of Republican votes. The Democrats piled on the votes after the clock ran out for boasting purposes and nothing more. Republicans are still in the majority.

Hello, many people in America think that the Zodiac killer was only one person, but when we think about the whole story, it seems that the Zodiac was a group of about three people, and there should probably be a last letter after the publication. This text will reach you and you might ask yourself why I am writing this article for you now, the reason is really clear because I just saw the movie, so good luck friends, I am a kid from Iran.
    سلام خیلی از مردم کشور آمریکا فکر میکنند که زودیاک قاتل فقط یک نفر بوده است ولی وقتی خوب به تمام ماجرا فکر کنیم به نظر میرسد که زودیاک یک گروه حدوداً سه نفره بوده اند و احتمالاً یک نامه آخری نیز باید وجود داشته باشد که بعد از انتشار این متن به دستتان خواهد رسید و شاید از خود بپرسید چرا حالا دارم این مطلب را برای شما مینویسم خب دلیلش واقعاً واضع است چون فیلمش را تازه دیدم خب موفق باشید دوستان یک بچه هستم از کشور ایران.
