  1. If we default on our debt it is 100% the Republicans fault. They will pay in 2024, if we still have a country by then.

  2. You SHOL put UNEQUAL FOCUS against Biden 😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡

  3. Taxpayers must work. Taxpayers must submit to drug testing. These are not unreasonable requests.

  4. Another prob is only ssi & ddd determines disability but a person knows their body. Who are they to say someone hasn't been permanently damaged after leukemia they cut me off & billd me I have more debt never had a credit now I never will

  5. He makes up this mythical man, let me give you my example and others I knew of when workfare was introduced in 1996. We were about 18, in college, on public assistance because our parents were. So when this program hit, it meant we couldn't focus on college.

    I was able to finish college and have worked without a break (no unemployment) for over twenty years since.

    Had the program interrupted me enough, there's no way I'd be paying the taxes I am paying now. This program is a net loss, the point isn't to save a buck, because it doesn't, the country maybe saves a dollar and loses two in taxes, if that's your goal.

  6. Ok more people qualifying for ebt to me sounds like more mid class getting bumped to poverty w the rest. Saying more will qualify isn't always a good thing I have a feeling mid class plays this debts thru taxes then will qualify for ebt sad

  7. Don't get my gotdamn nerves progressives, I'm just as liberal as you all are. VOTE YES ON THE DEAL!

  8. Republican scum keep lying about work requirements. They are not trying to make people work who don't want to work. They are tryincuts for the ultra rich and keep cutting the IRS funding so they can’tcuts for the ultra rich and keep cutting the IRS funding so they can’t audit the tax returns of the wealthy.

  9. Hey That's mind for the another meet the press

  10. Need more congressman with Rep Dusty Johnson with work incentive plan.

  11. I agree with the Congress woman. Everyone saying it’s a great deal yet and still we are still denying food from those who need it. We not talking about a 27 yr old man not working but those over 49 who may have Health issues that are already being denied benefits such as disability for qualified illness Adding to the already systemic racism! Biden said he wouldn’t negotiate! He should not have negotiated!!! BS WE would already had to do the budget! Save money on all this money going into the war in Ukraine and take care of America!

  12. What happened to us now

  13. Do any of those people in Washington know how hard it is to get disabled status? Even if you are disable, you need to fill out reams of paperwork, get multiple doctors to agree to a diagnosis, and then you still might get rejected because you didn't dot an i on one of the papers. The average person spends less than three years on Welfare and the majority are White. These Republicans who scream about 'Welfare Queens' have never held a bluecollar job in their lives and don't have a clue about managing a budget and feeding a family. They all need a crash course in reality and then, maybe, they might have a clue.

  14. Rep guy pos horrible hguy

  15. What i biden really up to with his own currency he want to be able to shut money off for people that gets on his nerves and i will leave it at that😮.

  16. What does ayone thik about biden bucks😢 13:21

  17. Democrats are spineless and Republicans are crazy.

  18. Democrats must support President Biden with his decision. This isn't the time for progressive democrats to be divided. We must have unity within the Democratic party. We have a huge fight ahead of us in 24…… 10:21

  19. Need a different desk reporter leading

  20. If you'll gonna require work for food stamps…U NEED TO COUPLE WORK REQUIREMENTS WITH ADEQUATE DIGNIFIED PAY, NOT FREE/SLAVE LABOR!!!

  21. "doesn't want to work." he says.
    You missed his message.
    He doesn't want to work your ways and since you've beaten him away from his ways at every turn, he made a way in your ways, you fool.
    Survival of the fittest and there are lots of fits for sentience to fill.

  22. Good!!!! Turn to the moderates!!!

  23. why doesbt putin drop 10 abombs on canada

  24. wasn't Chevy the soul of 'murca?

  25. stop the war
    stop supporting the war
    tell them to surrender
    or fuel prices and hyper inflation will never end

  26. Meet the Press NOW – May 29

  27. Work requirements are a tool for employers to allow them to pay below a living wage. When work requirements are in place, workers are forced to take whatever job is available. Once employed, that worker has no time available to find a job either more appropriate to his/her skills or better paid. It is purely a trap to keep pay low.

  28. This a good start for Americans . Both parties need to agree on this. They need to wipe out bad credit to have more spending for americans.

  29. The debt ceiling did not require any concessions to increase; all due to Republicans!

  30. If one or any side is completely happy with a Deal, then by definition it's a bad deal.
