The House of Representatives handed President Reagan his first victory on Capitol Hill today in a politically sensitive vote to increase the debt limit by $50 billion, to $985 billion.

The increase had to be voted if the Government was to continue borrowing money to pay its bills, but members of both parties expressed ''discomfort'' and ''distaste'' for the necessity before voting for the measure, 305 to 104.
So the Dimwinger House raised the debt ceiling.

Got it.

Glad we cleared that up.
 
Stopped the loons from cuts to veterans, SS, Medicare and Medicade.
Oh and clubbed The Fat Orange Shit Giblet in November of 2020!
81,000,000 >74,000,000 to this day!
Link us up to the Republican proposing cuts to those programs, Simp.
 
Ronald Reagan raised the debt ceiling 18 times. Donald Trump raised the debt ceiling twice

Since when have the Republicans been hardliners on the debt ceiling.

The time to cut costs is during the budget negotiations.

If the US defaults, every American will suffer.


I am curious (and lazy). It says Reagan raised the debt limit 18 times. Did he raise the debt limit twice a year when he was in office? And for two of the years he was in office, he would have raised it 3 times?

Both congressional political parties are guilty of raising the debt ceiling. Instead of complaining about it, both parties need to stop spending our tax dollars like it's their own personal piggybank and tossing the revenue around like there's no end to it.

America will never go insolvent, so don't worry.
 
What was our debt to GDP percentage at that time? Oh, and by the way, YOURE WELCOME for him winning the Cold War.
It's not really a debt. It's more of a ledger of how much money has been put into the economy since 1789. It can't do us any harm provided we continue producing and we haven't reached full employment.

It is wrong no matter who does it.

This "Johnny also did it" bullshit is no excuse for fiscal irresponsibility.
 
How can Congress spend anything without the president's signature?

Take a fucken civics class, fag.
Which branch of Government has the power of purse you moron?

If a president doesn’t sign it, the congress can override him. You’re an idiot.
