  1. Let's burn our own house down !
    What is the harm in that ?

  2. Biden just needs to hold out until Wall Street reacts. It stopped McConnell in his tracts when Trump played chicken with his promise to allow for a default over his pet project that didn't get support. Let McCarthy dangle until he's humiliated by the same process. It's easy for them to threaten when it's not thier money…. but hold thier salaries and watch them scream foul. Put thier incomes in the package or better yet decrease thier health care packages to the same level as every other American. Why are they given benefits better than ours with out paying a dime towards the cost? They can put school children who cannot afford lunches on the chopping block but not any sacrifice to thier own extravagant benefits package… hold thier salaries hostage until they pay for Trump's tax cuts for the 1% billionaire class.

  3. no to increasing the ceiling. Cuts are needed.

  4. Schumer wont vote on it and send it back to the house

  5. So indicted criminals can be republican politicians.

  6. I say no to raising the debt ceiling….

  7. Notice repealing the massive Trump era tax cuts for billionaires isnt on the table but veterans benefits are. Fiendish greed and corruption at its worst.

  8. Biden has brought deficit down quite a bit, this is just about GOP trying to weild power they don't have through threats on all Americans. The GOP is a dying party.

  9. Supporting Trump post J 6th after Trump threatened his life has damaged McCarthy psychologically.

  10. We all can understand that you spent the money, now do your jobs and pass a clean debt limit increase, like everyone has before you. Do not play games with the credit rating of this country!

  11. Biden is an a$$hole…he would not even meet to discuss a real problem. Biden believes in Modern monetary theory…is he going to prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that it fails. Unlimited debt IS a problem. He needs to make some cuts to his imperial presidency.

  12. Turn around let's see if you are YELLOW

  13. Trumps conviction makes me (as a non-White Man) agree American White Men are under Attack!

  14. It takes both Parties for a Default to come to pass. If Both Parties allow a Default, it's time for the 2nd Amendment to come in into Play. All we would need is the Pentagon to Step up to the Plate!

  15. It would be a miracle if republican just once do something for the people that really need the help instead of the rich that doesn't have to worry.

  16. He acts like he doesn't know what the cuts are.

  17. If we love this "country" we should just give up all our money and pay it. "And live for free and feed Us for free". (But that's not going to happen). We can all try to look good, we can try to sound good, dress well, it doesn't mean anything. Those debts are really not our problem those are the problems of generations to come. That isn't fair to them!!! So we either try to resolve those issues, use your imagination see what you can create. That is plan b but plan a is paid in back everything. I see two options there. But we're never going to pay them back. We need to stop acting like we will. When Kevin McCarthy and Joe Biden are going to die before those issues or ever going to be fixed. And then after them it's just going to get worse. If we take money from education. Then we got more illiterate people out here that can't listen to a situation and comprehended because they haven't read things. They don't know what those words mean. I write my stuff like a 7th because when you're hanging out with people that dropped out of the 6th grade you start to act like them.🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 Trust me I completed 7th.. lol👽

  18. The only time repubs worry about spending is when they aren't in power.

  19. The NBC videos are every hour on YouTube. Not one mention of the Biden Crime Family

  20. Debt ceiling is a sham, it's for power play between politicians while the ppl suffer. Politicians don't do anything for the ppl by the ppl. They're in office for their own selfish gains, OWM trying to prove who's the alpha male.

  21. Why do Democrats always spend as much money as possible? Im not a rep or a dem but I don’t get the desire that dems have for spending so much

  22. Biden don't fold, if the Republicans don't return a clean debit celling bill VETO it!

  23. Meanwhile the Biden family corruption and taking illegal money from our foreign enemies continues.

  24. Republicans just want everyone to agree that they can cut whatever they want without disclosing what would be cut. Anyone that votes for these TRAITORS is just as bad as they are. TAX THE WEALTHY!!!!

  25. I don’t know why people still think Biden is good
    He could care less about our rights
    Our freedom
    We are in deep times as he wants to limit our speech
    Limit our rights be we will stand together as the Light is stronger then the dark…. We lost ties
    We lost money
    We funding a war for nothing
    When our people need better housing , better protection , more education , homeless on end in our nation.. they want us divided because divides we can’t do nothing to corrupt government if we don’t come together and realize we are in deep waters

  26. Republicans need to grow up and join reality.

    14th Amendment Joe! Pay America's bills as required by the Constitution.

  27. mccarthy is part of the swamp. jim is americas savior

  28. Criminals are rampant. Should have predicted they would try to come into federal government as the economy got weaker post covid. We have to make sure they are put back on their place.

  29. I just wish I had PLATINUM health insurance like the corrupt politicians voted for themselves. Instead of my Bronze.
