Debt Ceiling Shutdown: What Would Happen if the US Government Shut Down For Good?


It’s that time of year again where the US government acts like it will “shut down” and argues about nonsensical things to try to make people believe they are somehow necessary.

In 2015, Congress suspended the ceiling, which let the government borrow as much as it wanted through March 15, 2017. On that date, the total national debt was $19.846 trillion, and the government can't exceed that limit without approval from Congress.

In the meantime, the government uses all kinds of accounting tricks to shuffle the chairs around on the Titanic and all manner of vultures will be fighting over who gets the bounty of stolen funds extorted from Americans.

This type of thing has been going on for nearly a century.

The very first “debt ceiling” was put in place exactly 100 years ago, in 1917, and nearly every year since then a group of parasites working for stolen money (taxes) gets together in a place called the opposite of progress, Congress, to act like they would ever shut down the very thing that employs them.

It’s an exercise in stupidity, but it does lead to the question, what would happen if the US federal government shut down for good?

Dont see why?? The public should know that liberals always want to raise the debt ceiling as crippling welfare entitlements create the need for more and more crippling welfare entitlements.

Damn those republicans!!

Debt ceiling fights are illustrative. The public should know that liberals always want to raise the debt ceiling to enable more crippling welfare entitlements to create the need for more and more crippling welfare entitlements and more and more increases in the debt ceiling. Why not make liberals illegal as our founders intended?

"We still find the greedy hand of government thrusting itself into every corner and crevice of industry, and grasping at the spoil of the multitude. Invention is continually exercised to furnish new pretenses for revenue and taxation. It watches prosperity as its prey and permits none to escape without a tribute."

-- Thomas Paine

Jesus told the chief priests, “I tell you the truth, the tax collectors and the prostitutes are entering the kingdom of God ahead of you.”
