  1. The only speed bump is McCarthy and his followers not attempting to try to work out a debt ceiling deal

  2. No matter who you are, Democrats or Republicans, the government should always have a balanced budget and spend what you can afford and be financially responsible.

  3. I will be willing to be without . Stand with the blue

  4. The democrats are trying to figure out how to get more money to funnel to the intelligence sector so they have the funding to continue to destabilize this country.😊

  5. Republicans will burn the USA to ashes just to show how much they are like Karens.

  6. Please let the speed bump be the carcass of Marge's
    🐩💨tch name of Kevin.

  7. Republicans want all their way though Trump is to blame for the debt limit

  8. McCarthy says we have to spend less this year. Oh brilliant there Kevin. Is that all you want? I want to spend less this year too!!! In fact I don’t want to spend anything. What are you guys doing about inflation??? Take care of important things and stop this phony nonsense.

  9. Its always the same dumb mantra "tax the corporations more" That will only give the government MORE TO SPEND! And it will not stop the increasing debt. The US must spend less then it takes in !

  10. The BIDEN'S CORRUPTION gets a hard lesson to our great America ‼️
    Spent money in UKRANIAN WAR

  11. While this is going on MTG decided to buy McCarthys used chapstick at a auction for $100,000.

  12. Query: WHY! are negotiation necessary to pay for past bills? President Biden could have should have made it clear during the State of the Union to both parties the Debt Ceiling needs to be raised. Then he could have seen back then were it was going and induced after his speech the 14th amendment and delete the debt ceiling. Then we would not be here LETTING THE REPUBLICAN PARTY threaten our Senior Citizen's with the lose of there S.S. livelihood. I Leave it to you America will you support the red fascist party after they take your money & parents money away?

  13. The "debt ceiling" is a total farse. It's about paying bills we already have and not future spending. Republicans are full of crap. While T***p was in office there was never a squabble from the left. The left has cut the budget every year they have been in office my entire life.

  14. There is a reason why republicans dont want to do this on camera. Traitors.

  15. China joe and his cronies must be removed, the rino's will crumble soon after.

  16. Spending money not made without issuing bonds and while taking paychecks to balance the budget is TREASON!

  17. people everywhere to repent, so if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe with all your heart that God raised 143

  18. No more American dream 🛌

  19. WE THE PEOPLE.
    WANT YOU TO KNOW, THAT OUR GOD DEMAND OF OUR MAN,AND WOMEN AND C CHILDREN TO BE OBEDIENT. TO PROVIDE DISCOPLINE TO TOUR CHILDREN, BECAUSE THESE CHILDREN WITH OUT PARENTS DO NOT EXIST ONLE THE ORPHANS AND GOD OS FAITHFUL TO PROVIDE FOR ALL, BUT IF THERE IS NO DISCOPLINE, AND THERE IS NO JUSTICE THEN GOD'S WRATH IS THE RESULT OF WHAT THESE LEADERS IN GOVERNENT WHO FAIL TO DO JUSTICE BECAUSE OF POLITICS.
    NOW THE JUSTICE IS COMING. TO ALL THE 🌎 EARTH.
    THE GREATEST JUDGED IS THE JUDGE OF ALL THE JUDGES. NOW THE RIVERS ARE DRYING, AND THINGS FROM ANCIENT GENERATIONS HAVE BEEN KNOWN TO MAN TO SEE WHATGOD DEED TO OTHER GENERATIONS THAT GOD DID, WHEN PEOPLE BE COME DISOBEDIENT. YOU MUST BE ACCOUNTABLE TO GOD, AND YOU MUST NOT DENIED JUSTICE BECAUSE THEN THE LORD'S WRATH ABRUPTS LIKE A VOLCANO. AND HE BRING JUSTICE THAT IS THE PAYMENT DUE TO US FOR VIOLATING THE LAWS OF GOD' S WILL ARE INTENDED TO WORK. BUT THE DEMOCRATS REMOVED AND CHANGED FOR THE LAWS OF MEN. AND NOW THE JUSTICE IS COMING FROM HEAVEN. AMEN.
    THE FEAR OF GOD, IS THE BEGINING OF WISDOM. THE BOOK OF PROBERVS TEACHES US, AS GOD BLESS KING DAVID, AND HIS SON SOLOMONS, WHO CALL TO GOD, AND GOD SAID , WHAT IS YOU WANT AND KING SOLOMON ASK WHAT HE WANTED I AND GOD GAVE HIM GREAT WISDOM AND MADE HIM VERY RICH. BUT HE DID NOT ASKED FOR MONEY.
    HE WANTED WISDOM, AND GOD GAVE IT TO HIM. SEE GOD IS FIGHTING FOR HIS PEOPLE. AND HIS PLAN MUST COME TO PASS: SO LET US GET READY,AND LET US BE CHEEFUL AND READY, TO HONOR THE FATHER AND ALSO TBE SON,THEY ARE ONE GOD, WITH 3 IDENTITIES. AMEN.
    NOW THE " THE THE PEOPLE MUST BE WULLING AND OBEDIENT TO DO PRAY FOR OUR LEADERS. IF OUR AMERICAN PEOPLE AND OUR FAMILIES AND CHILDREN AND BABIES, ARE HEARING NOT THE WORD OF GOD, THEN IT IS SOMETHING WRONG.
    BUT THE PROBLES WE HAVE IS THE RESULT OF OUR INDEPENDENCE MISSUNDERSTOOD.
    THIS NATION HAS FAIL GOD, AND AS A RESULT WE BECOME A NATION OF " LOVERS OF MONEY."
    YOU ARE ACCOUNTABLE TO BE OBEDIENT TO DO WHAT THE LORD COMMAND.
    BUT JUST LIKE ADAM AND EVE WERE DECEIVED, WE ALL THE DESCENDANTS HAVE FOLLOWED THE DESIRES JUST LIKE ADAM AND EVE, FELL INLOVE OF THE PHYSICALLY VISIBLE TO THE EYES.
    MEN LOOK AT MEN AND FOLLOW MEN.
    WOMEN LOOK AT WOMEN AND FOLLOW WOMEN.
    BECAUSE YOU ARE EARTHLY 🌎. YOUR DESIRES ARE EARTHY. UIUR CHILDREN ARE WARTHTLY,
    AND WHAT IS THE MAIN ATTRACTION?
    THE SAME ATTRACTION THAT CAUSE THE FALL OF MAN, AND WOMAN.
    THAT IS WHY LEADERS WHO APPROVED HOMOSEXUAL PLEASURES HAVE LOST THEIR MINDS.
    THEY HAVE LOST THEIR SPIRITUAL VONNWCTION TO GOD, BECAUSE THEIR SOULS ARE DEAD. DEAD INTO SINS AMEN

  20. These guys are bizarre. What dept spends the most money?
    Jets, helicopters, submarines, battle ships, drones, weapons, ammunition, personnel are the most expensive.

  21. Why's there a tax crisis? Is that the upcoming one when the Trump tax cuts begin disappearing after 2025? Well, that's not true of the corporations since theirs are permanent.

  22. Reporters need to ask McCarthy why doesn't he just ask the millionaires to pay taxes. That would help the country a lot! Don't give up until he gives an answer.
    This will help we, the people, to deal with the tremendous debts and expenses of Trump and the Republicans during Trump's prescidency, by name only. The Republicans raised the debt ceiling 3 times only for the benefit of the rich people. McCarthy is just covering for the rich!
    We need to support President Biden. He has done a lot for us and the country, don't be ungrateful. McCarthy, as usual, as Republican he is, is lying to you! They will take our money to give it to the rich.
    Is that what you want?

  23. The 💵 Dollar is a legal unit of account having a fiscal/tax relation between the 🇺🇸 federal government as the issuer, and its users.
    Demanding that 🇺🇸 federal 💸 taxes be paid only in 💵 Dollars, insures the validity of the 💵 Dollar as the means of exchange.
    Unlike States and municipalities, only 🇺🇸 federal government created 💵 Dollars, not 🇺🇸 federal 💸 taxes, nor auctioned interest bearing 🏛️ Treasury Securities, pays for entitlement/discretionary spending and interest on the debt.
    The 🇺🇸 National Debt is the amount of interest bearing 🏛️ Treasury Securities that the 🏛️ Federal Reserve has exchanged for excess 💵 Dollars circulating in the economy. Essentially having transferred excess 🪙 change from checking to savings.
    The 🇺🇸 National Deficit is when the total amount of 💵 Dollars created into the economy by the 🇺🇸 federal government, exceeds the total 🇺🇸 federal revenues 💸 taxed.
    Eliminating excessive concentrations of 💵 Dollars through 🇺🇸 federal capital gains, dividend, interest, corporate, estate and inheritance 💸 taxes are essential for restraining excessive concentrations of private power.
    Inflation is a devaluation of the 💵 Dollar throughout the economy due to a shortage of resources and/or productive capacity.
    Hyperinflation is a catastrophic devaluation of the 💵 Dollar throughout the economy due to a collapse in resources and/or productive capacity.
    Recessions are cyclical decelerations of the 💵 Dollar throughout the economy that in time cause corresponding declines in economic activity.
    Stagflation is a devaluation of the 💵 Dollar compounded by a decline in economic activity throughout the economy due to the scarcity of an essential resource.
    Deflation is a revaluation of the 💵 Dollar compounded by a decline in economic activity throughout the economy due to an escalation in excessive inventory.
    A Depression occurs when the 🇺🇸 federal government runs a surplus that 💸 taxes out the 💵 Dollars essential for the functioning of the economy, causing an unsustainable escalation in private debt and inevitable collapse in economic activity.

  24. “A tax crisis” is rich of him to say knowing they cut taxes to the wealthy and corporations 😂

  25. Stop negotiating and go with the 14th
