Democrats push to eliminate the debt ceiling, allow unlimited government borrowing

[Nordberg]

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

In fact, the Dems cut the debt . The reds do it never.https://www.sounddollar.com/national-debt-by-president Do you ever read about the debt or look things up?

It is not unconstitutional to default on the debt.

Sorry, but the 14th Amendment: "The validity of the public debt of the United States, authorized by law, including debts incurred for payment of pensions and bounties for services in suppressing insurrection or rebellion, shall not be questioned."

You are not allowed to question(default) on the national debt.

How much of that was because of COVID?

Tax cut with increased spending. That is how the Repubs do it Most of Covid costa slid down to Biden. Trump did not do a lot with fighting it.

 

[Nordberg]

The democrats will never work with the GOP to cut spending

The GOP has never cut spending. Not once.

Stop with the democrat lies. All of 2020 was during COVID

It is hard to do woith the useless baseline budgeting the government uses. Tax cuts do increase revenue

Hard to believe in this day and era that some still swallow everything AM talk radio shovels

It doesn't come from any talk show or from Fox. This is what Democrats do.

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?

Not enough. It is not possible to tax enough. They are broke.
There is no such thing as a debt ceiling.

 

[Into the Night]

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.

There is no such thing as a debt ceiling.

 

[Into the Night]

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)

Good. It belongs there.

I don't remember you bitching when Trump was spending!

Trump wasn't spending. CONGRESS WAS SPENDING.

When Daffy was in office, they calmly and quietly jacked the debt ceiling up 3 times. Most of them know what it does and its significance.

There is no significance. There is no such thing as a debt ceiling.

 

[Into the Night]

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

There is no such thing as a debt ceiling. Nothing keeps Congress from going into further debt (other than no one wanting to lend them money). Yes, we need less spending.
Remember the first purpose of any government agency is to justify themselves. They make no profit, so that is not their success metric. Instead the success metric is to justify themselves. If they have to manufacture a crisis to look like the cavalry coming to the rescue, they will do it. They do not want to actually solve a problem, since that would reduce justification for their department.

So you are okay with the country going bankrupt and becoming a third world type country

There is no such thing as a 'third world'. There is only one Earth. The former federal government is already bankrupt.

The democrats will never work with the GOP to cut spending

The GOP will never cut spending either. Sorry, but BOTH parties are guilty of just increasing spending.

Lie. The debt has NEVER BEEN REDUCED.

A default is not a question. It is completely constitutional to go into default.

There is no need to fight covid19. This unusually mild variant of the Covid/SARS series of viruses does not kill. NONE of the Covid/SARS series viruses kill.
DEMOCRAT fear mongering caused the shutdowns, and the current economic depression. All to try to make Trump look bad. It was later used to commit election fraud on such a scale that the 2020 election faulted.
