Will extremists from both sides force the USA to default on debt?

[Anathema]

Crazy talk of an anarchist

LOL. I’m not an anarchist. I’m an Authoritarian, nearly the exact opposite of an anarchist.

This nation needs a complete and total systemic change. A press of the cosmic reset button. A political and cultural enema.

Nope, Biden and McCarthy agree that the best way to squeeze more money from the American people is to hire $80 billion dollar's worth of IRS agents:

Don't worry, the Deep State is protecting their precious debt ceiling.

 

[initforme]

No one has paid it down since Clinton and Newt... Trump had a good reason to spend... He had a failing military and a virus to deal with....

Oh ok then. Free pass. Got it

He's not an anarchist, just your basic dime-store kookburger.

Our grandchildren's grandchildren will still be paying for this biden clown's presidency.....

No President added more to the debt, in one term, than Trump.

1. Barack Obama
   $9.3 trillion over 8 years
   ($1.1 trillion per year)
2. Donald Trump
   $7.8 trillion over 4 years
   ($1.9 trillion per year)
3. Joe Biden
   $3.7 trillion over 2 years, 3 months
   ($1.6 trillion per year)
4. George W. Bush
   $4.9 trillion over 8 years
   ($0.6 trillion per year)

Not so... McCarthy is not under fire from the right....

Not true. You cannot just make shit up.

Republicans speak out against US debt-ceiling deal, in sign of rocky road ahead

A handful of hard-right Republican lawmakers said on Monday they would oppose a deal to raise the United States' $31.4 trillion debt ceiling, in a sign that the bipartisan agreement could face a rocky path through Congress before the U.S. runs out of money next week.

Far left AND THE FAR RIGHT.
They are equally spoiled children not willing to compromise.

1. Those in the middle are wishy-washy that keep the problems existing and are never solved. They have no convictions. So, things just keep getting worse.
2. Those on the right will stop the craziness with the out of control spending, shrink the government, stop the woke madness, strengthen the military, put on notice to the world we are strong and don't mess with us and keep inflation in check.
3. Those on the left will burn and crash the republic with the constitution and reorganize in either a communist run country or a fascist run country. Which would you prefer, take your time.

 

[ElmerMudd]

All a bunch of scare tactic bull... default would be the best thing to happen because we could begin the rebuild of our economy and pass laws preventing this kind of over spending in the future... handing the do nothings in DC another blank check is only going to increase the pain down the road.... and hey!... being 60 or 70 will not necessarily keep you from feeling it... that's how fast the train is coming at us....

The debt is OUR fault, the voters fault.
Politicians provide what voters want, to get their votes.
Voters want schools, military, infrastructure, social security, medicare, welfare, tax breaks - on and on, PLUS they want lower taxes.
The stupid politicians give the voters what they want and the country goes into debt.
Voters want their cake and eat it, too.

YOU better be prepared to give up some of the benefits the government gives you to support a balanced budget,
Not just "other people" have to sacrafice.

You're speaking to someone who hasn't a CLUE what actual anarchism is.

Will extremists from both sides force the USA to default on debt?

If so, it will negatively effect all Americans.

Extremists are like spoiled children. They want everything their way or no way. They are the biggest problem in our country. They are a bigger threat to our nation than China and Russia.

Those who support extremism fuel the extremist politicians.

Our nation was founded through compromise. It has existed for 250 years because of compromise. We cannot let a bunch of spoiled children ruin our nation.

yes, of course we must always compromise with those who are wrong. It certainly is wrong to overspend by trillions, so if we compromise and only overspend by 3 trillion instead of 4 trillion, than we did right?

Sorry, this country was not built on compromise. It certainly was not built on debt, which is the subject. Compromise will only allow the Marxist Democrats to gain more power. Compromise with criminals, and you help criminals commit crimes.

Compromise on overspending, allowing overspending, is a compromise that gives a win to those who will overspend our country into ruin.

Defaulting on debt will hurt us. I hope so. We will have to cut government employees, we will have to cut payments to illegal aliens. We will have to cut 100's of billions of subsidies to the rich building solar and wind projects.

And hell, if we default, just think how hard it will be to overspend, that will really suck,

Either way, we all need to sacrifice. We have all been living above our budgets.Almost every citizen get's more from government than they put in.

Agreed. However, there’s the inflation created by Democrats and Biden that make it necessary to use credit. Don’t know if you would agree but until the people return to following God’s commandments more we will continue to spiral down as a country. Letting 1/10th of 1% trans population run the politicians and major corporations is devastating. Wake up people. Stop voting for Democrats.

Your own words show how uneducated you are on the founding of our country. country and it's founding.
The compromises and debt, at our inception are facts, not opinion.
You are lying about the founding of our country because of your horrific lack of knowledge.
Stupid is as stupid does.

The U.S. has had debt since its inception. Our records show that debts incurred during the American Revolutionary War amounted to $75,463,476.52 by January 1, 1791.

The three major compromises were the Great Compromise, the Three-Fifths Compromise, and the Electoral College. The Great Compromise settled matters of representation in the federal government.

5 Compromises That Were Key to Creating the U.S. Constitution

The U.S. Constitution is known as a "bundle of compromises"; here are the key areas where each side had to give ground.

The basic tenets of the 10 commandments can be followed if you are Christian or not.
The key is personal accountability. That includes not blaming 1/10th of our population for our problems.

You are going to compare our founding, the negotiations, the debt of fighting for freedom, with the spending on socialism and cronyism that the Democratic party is dictating today!!!

It is apparent you have zero understanding of our founding or the spending of today.

Is the trillion dollars hidden in the Inflation Reduction act of the same need as financing our revolution establishing this country. By no means are the two even a little bit related. What is horrific your attempt to compare the what the democratic party is doing today, which is nothing less than destroying our standard of living and our freedom to the Revolutionary War.

What compromise on debt, did the founders debate, and thus compromise on. How about showing your education on that subject without a google search.

Yes, debt was created, but there was no compromise allowing for debt that was incurred so that congress could subsidize private businesses or pay for welfare of illegal aliens.

Horrific is comparing the democratic party's spending to the cost of the Revolution against British rule.
