My Light Bulb Moment Regarding The Debt Ceiling Standoff

[bripat9643]

While Trump was president, when did Republicans threaten to shut down the government and not raise the debt ceiling until cuts were made?

They didn't.

You've been so thoroughly hoaxed you have become completely blind to their theatrics which are designed just for idiots like you.

Republicans have done it numerous times, douchebag, and Democrats are always holding out for more spending. So who's responsible for higher spending?

When are you going to pretend your some kind of Republican?

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?

I think that's all true because Democrats 'thrive on jive'. Their unsophisticated, mal educated and gullible constituents eat that jive right up.

Never once did the Repubs threaten to shut down the government and not raise the debt ceiling until cuts were made while there was a Repub POTUS.

Why is that?

Republicans have been hooting about the "coming recession" from the minute Biden won the Presidency. They WANT that to happen because they think it will benefit them politically and HERE they are trying to cause one

Most leading economists believe that a recession is either coming or has already started. I thought you guys liked to listen to the experts? Why are you fact deniers?

Oh and if even any part of that is true...a default will certainly push us into a recession.

Why the fuck would you want that?

Oh yea...so you can whine about it

We will deal with it if and when it comes

Meanwhile, why are Republicans pushing us into default which will definitely provoke a Recession?

KEY POINTS​

• 
  The nation's central bank is forecasting a "mild recession" for "later this year."

And "battling inflation" which everyone admits is necessary....can bring on a mild recession.

A DEFAULT will ensure that recession occurs

Why is that?

Only a dumbass couldn't figure that out. When have Dims ever proposed to not increase the debt to some stratospheric new record?

What? Even the IMF has asked Biden to cut expenses to tame inflation so that interest rates don't have to be raised so that we don't have to have a recession. If Biden listened to the experts instead of Progressives, this debt ceiling thing wouldn't even be an issue.

So, the solution is to cut spending so that none of that happens.

So, you know why they do it and you are still blindly loyal to them, even though you know they are playing you for a sucker.

you are the very people they count on to stay in power.

Oddly you only have that as a solution when Republicans are NOT in the White House

Yep, he has been on the forum since 2015 and does not have a single post complaining about the GOP spending during the Trump years.

I know they have to battle sleazy leftwing political spin. The only suckers are the ones who believe the left's political spin.

Hey stupid people ... we can't have upturns without downturns ... ever heard of the business cycle? ... what goes up must come back down ...

Republicans control the House ... will they succeed in sending even ONE appriprations bill to the Senate? ... something Democrats completely failed in doing last Congress ... NONE of these people are doing their jobs ... all any of them do is collect money from lobbyists ...

They show up for work Tuesday afternoon and close up shop by Thursday noon ... beat the airline rush to tropical paradises on BofA's ticket ... all on the middle class' tax dollars ... "Print" up $30 trillion and we'll have inflation ... both sides are guilty, both sides got their cut ...

... and you folks worry about a recession ... too funny ...

Maybe you could prove that. I think our expenses are totally out of control no matter who is president. They have been for a long time. Don't YOU think we should get them under control, especially when the IMF says we should?

Well put

But the debt ceiling authorizes paying for services already rendered

Republicans want to talk debt relief?
Lets do it as part of a negotiated Budget with EVERYTHING on the table…….

Taxes
Military Spending
Social Spending
