Give Biden and the democrats a blank check? This would be stupid they already have out of control spending. Democrats need to work with GOP to raise debt ceiling

Biden has already said, that he would not support doing away with the Debt ceiling back in early December!

And even though Boyle, Jeffries, and even Clyburn and a few others have suggested it, I don't see them defying the president.

There are plenty of areas that the two sides can work together on, negotiate, to trim the budget while raising the Debt Ceiling- The farm bill, Military spending, the Ukraine money etc.

Both sides better get used to having to work together just to keep their own lights on and keep their offices warm.

The Oligarchy is already writing blank checks.
It's broke. It has no money. The only way they can get it is to tax, borrow or just print the cash. The favored method is to just print more cash.

Inflation.

Do you know they have revenue coming in every day? Taxing is revenue. I am sure you would like to abolish taxes and kill the IRS. They are not broke.
When Trump was in office, the debt ceiling was lifted 3 times. Do you remember the fights and battles?

On tax forms, citizens should be allowed, must be allowed to tell their government what percent of their taxes they want spent on each Department. That won't necessarily lower taxes, but it will make people less angry about what the government spends the revenue on.
 
The truth is the Repubs in the house know what the debt ceiling is and what it means. They also know their followers do not know. So it gives them a chance to use what is a perfunctory task into a crisis. Do not wonder why the left does not respect the right. This is yet, another lesson of why. The debt ceiling was raised three times during Trump's reign of stupidity. No big deal. Pay what you owe and go on.

No, it would only allow the borrowing to cover the difference in the spending that Congress authorized and the income that Congress authorized. Remember Congress has already ordered the government to borrow this amount. In fact, it is unconstitutional for the government to refuse Congress' demand.

Congress isn't an oligarchy under the Constitution, dude.
 
To all of you "non-thinkers" out there... if the "debt ceiling" is something that can be, and is, constantly raised higher and higher, is there really such a thing as a "debt ceiling" at all?

Hint: the term has, for a while now, been included in my Lispy Leftist List (see my sig)

We need the debt ceiling to hold congress in check. We need less spending and less debt not more. They need to get rid of the baseline budgeting system

My God your stupidity is never ending, isn't it. The US can borrow as much as Congress approves, the debt ceiling has nothing to do with that. NOTHING. Read a fucking book, would you chump?

The Repubs always jack the debt up bigly. It is their plan that they think will allow them to end programs that do not help the rich and corporations. They slash taxes for the rich and corporations while increasing military and other spending. They do it every time. The debt ceiling is about paying the bill for things we have already done. You have no understanding of the problems at all.

The democrats raise taxes on the poor and middle class and add entitlement programs to increase the debt
