Is it "Congress's" Constitutional Duty To Raise The Debt Ceiling?

[bripat9643]

I can support my facts, bri.

Do it then.

 

[bripat9643]

Bri,

You're all horseshit, all the time.

Why do you bother posting in here? Just go curse at cars passing on the freeway

 

[kaz]

You're the one posting the video.

 

[The5thHorseman]

Do it then.

I supported the fact that you're a moron by demonstrating that you don't know what BLS is.

 

[kaz]

Do it then.

That would be cool!

What do you do when confronted with numbers and sources, bri?

 

[The5thHorseman]

That would be cool!

Challenge one of my facts.

What are you, six?

More like 8 1/2 but I don't like to brag.
Especially in front of mushrooms like you.

I thought the question of Congress' constitutional duty was very clear-cut:

The Congress shall have Power To lay and collect Taxes, Duties, Imposts and Excises, to pay the Debts and provide for the common Defence and general Welfare of the United States; but all Duties, Imposts and Excises shall be uniform throughout the United States;


However, it does not say such payments are or should be automatic. In this day and age when the President and the Congress may be held by one party where the Senate can pass spending bills via reconciliation that only requires 51 votes instead of 60, it is only right and proper to allow the minority party to hold their feet to the fire when it comes to raising the debt limit. Tyranny of the majority should not be unfettered.

It seems that you read that passage as:

"...Congress shall have Power...to NOT pay the Debts and provide for the general DESTRUCTION of the United States...."

What if that "minority" is the principal fiscal offender?

Joe Biden won the 2020 election.

Your turn.

 

[jc456]

Bullshit.

I just showed a state which didn't complete on election night. It's not uncommon. Even moreso in an election like 2020 which had a record number of mail-in ballots.

no you didn't, that didn't have that in it at all. try again.

 

[jc456]

Your link doesn't say they weren't and Trump failed to prove it in court.

court rejected it, that isn't failure to prove, that's the judicial system pandering to elites.

 

[jc456]

Joe Biden won the 2020 election.

Your turn.

I'll correct it for you, Joe Xiden stole 2020 election. There, not so hard to explain the cheat.

The Congress shall have Power To lay and collect Taxes, Duties, Imposts and Excises, to pay the Debts and provide for the common Defence and general Welfare of the United States; but all Duties, Imposts and Excises shall be uniform throughout the United States;

then why does the president have to sign anything?

 

[jc456]

What if that "minority" is the principal fiscal offender?

it doesn't answer why the president needs to sign it if the congress owns it?

did congress stop receiving in tax revenue? Why is congress raising any debt limit that it doesn't have money to pay? Wouldn't one stop spending on things not needed?

Link?

Understand that Prince TuckTuck was fired because he talks a lot of shit.

It seems that you read that passage as:

sure, pay the debts, but the debts should never have been incurred in the first place, and both parties are to blame for increasing the debt trying to buy votes.
