My Light Bulb Moment Regarding The Debt Ceiling Standoff

[Independent thinker]

Democrats (and everyone else) know a recession is coming. It is unavoidable. Most all economists are predicting it. It has happened mostly due to Democratic policies. What is the best way Democrats can spin this? Let the debt ceiling debacle happen, the economy collapses into a recession, and boom - they try blaming the recession on the debt ceiling standoff with Republicans. Will it work?

It's all about the 'media' and how they frame it to the public, and since the 'media' is a propaganda arm for the dems, they can pretty much convince the majority of the populace of anything. All you have to do is look at Covid and what they led people to believe with that, they're mostly mindless bot out there, no one thinks for themselves any longer.

Of course it'll work. The general populace of this country is barely above 'retarded.' Everything is literally EVERYONE else's fault, and that is essentially the Democrat brand message. An 'informed electorate' we are not...

Here's an idea. Pass a clean debt ceiling bill, and if what you predict happens, nobody can say it's because of your clean debt bill.

The 'Debt Ceiling' is nothing but theater. It's a bit of political sensationalism.

If Congress refuses to raise it (which they won't), Biden will just tell the treasury to continue to pay the bills and ignore the 'debt ceiling limit'

Congress has already directed the Treasury to spend the money, congress has already authorized the spending - the debt ceiling limit is bunk.

Let them take it to SCOTUS. There's no way SCOTUS is going to tell the government not to pay for what Congress has already authorized. It's a conflict between Congress and itself - not congress and the administration.

This is just an excuse for the GOP to posture at being fiscally responsible.

There's a debt ceiling standoff? First a debt ceiling would need to exist. Since the debt goal posts have been moved each and every time the so called debt ceiling has been reached I just laugh at these fake theatrics.

Only Republicans can make theater out of crowing about money....that's already been allocated and spent.
But hey, offer some more sweetheart tax cuts...that'll solve the problem.

Recessions always happen on a Republicans watch
As long as we don’t elect Republicans, we should be OK


If Republicans default on debt and we go into recession, They will once again take the blame.

Here's an idea. Call the Republicans bluff and talk to them about cutting spending.

Why don't we talk about spending less?

Well, this recession is happening under Biden's watch. So, I guess you were wrong.

The fed will just have to raise interest rates to double digits to create the revenue to pay the bills. No big thing.

Your side doesn't want to pass a clean anything.

Fortunately, we know how you idiots operate.

LOL. Yeah, several banks have gone belly up so far due to rising interest rates, so let's double interest rates and have a real live run on banks ala the Great Depression.

The economy is recovering, we are not in a recession.

If Republicans force a default on our debt and it forces us into an unneeded Recession after all we have been through……

Republicans got some Splain’n to do!

It is interesting every time there is a Democratic president, the New Right gleefully prays for a recession. They have even been claiming we are in a recession when we aren't.

IF there is a recession, it is because the Fed is raising interest rates to control the inflation you have been whining about.

This is exactly what Paul Volker did during the Reagan administration to cool inflation, and it did lead to a recession. Reagan was put under a lot of pressure to get Volker to lower interest rates, but Reagan held firm, and the end result was a booming economy once inflation cooled.

The current inflation has nothing to do with Biden. It is because we have had several presidents before Biden who added $20 trillion of excess spending and because the Fed kept ZIRP and low interest rates too long.

The Fed also assumed inflation was "transitory" and took no action to step on the brakes until it was too late.

So you can take your partisan hack conspiracies and shove them back up your ass whence they came.

No praying involved. Most all economists say we will have a recession.
