Trump calls for scrapping debt limit

[sealybobo]

More lies.

Reminds me of when you sent all our deplorables jobs overseas. Remember you said they were lazy and overpaid? Now suddenly you and Trump want to bring their jobs back home. Only they won't pay what they did before and you know it.

Same way you attacked labor in the 2000's, I notice you've been attacking education the last decade or so. Now you have Linda McMahon dismantling the Department of Education.

We have questions.

Education Secretary Linda McMahon Furnishes Too Few Answers in Senate Hearing​

The secretary was underprepared and unable to answer senators’ questions—was it due to a short-staffed department or carelessness?

Education Secretary Linda McMahon’s Senate budget hearing on Tuesday featured falsehoods that were either personally uttered by the secretary or went unchecked as a senator spread them.

McMahon, the former professional wrestling executive who was roundly mocked recently for referring to artificial intelligence — or “AI” — as “A1,” has struggled to slough off accusations that she’s out of her depth and ill-informed about the department she’s leading. And Tuesday didn’t help her cause.

Keeping in mind a few points.

'1. YOu support the outsourcing.

2. YOu support low wages.

3. You are opposed to attempts to reverse these policy choices.

4. YOu support the status quo on education, which has been complete failure.

Of course, he is. He's not a fiscal conservative. We said this repeatedly during the primaries, but the MAGAts wouldn't hear of it. It's not in their programming.

I voted for him three times.

But there is no kidding ourselves....he likes to spend.

Actually, you are right. I agree with the Republicans who are conning you right now. Don't worry. In 2 years this is all going to pay off for you deplorables.

Nope. You agree with the old Country CLub Rhinos, and the entire dem party, not MAGA.

Own it. Defend it. Be honest about it. Maybe you can find your way to some self respect.

Don't worry. In 2 years this is all going to pay off for you deplorables.

It is paying off already. Wages up 4% already and we are just getting started.

Not to mention the drop in crime.

Oh you believe those FBI stats? I wouldn't be so gullible if I were you. Isn't Kash Patel in charge of that? He was on Rogan. When asked about Trump being in the Epstein file he said "I'm not touching that one". But he has access to the Epstein files. Why wouldn't he say "Elon is a liar Trump isn't in the Epstein files".

He can't because Elon will sue him for slander and force him to release the Epstein files.

In May 2025, the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that average hourly earnings increased by 4.1% over the past 12 months

So now you are giving Trump credit for shit that happened in the past 12 months? But last month anything bad happened you blamed Biden?

You're such a sucker.

You're welcome btw. The wage growth you've seen over the last 12 months, is Biden's doing not Trump's. Trump is responsible for companies not hiring today.

In May 2025, US private sector hiring slowed to its weakest pace in over two years, with just 37,000 jobs added

Give Trump credit where it's due. LOL

We got two years before the mid terms to see if real life supports or contradicts the official numbers.

Don't care. No sex scandals for leftards. Not since Clinton.

i admit these are initial numbers. But they are encouraging. If the trend continues, that will indicate that it is because of Trump, not Biden.

You're such a sucker.

So, you admit that Trump's policies can have a impact already. So, giving him credit for the good numbers is reasonable.

You are the one not making sense. I am fine with aditting that it is too early to pass finally judgement.


We will have better numbers before voting in 2026, or 2028.

I have already discussed with you that yes, a trade war of course increases "uncertainty".


You seem to be having real trouble with the idea that I am here to discuss issues seriously and honestly. This bit of thinking that my SIDE defines my reaction to news,...


you're projecting.

Nothing ventured, nothing gained. The connection between the saying and U.S. debt policy lies in the balance between risk and reward in economic decision-making.

In 2025, President Donald Trump called for scrapping the U.S. debt limit entirely to prevent an economic catastrophe, arguing that the debt ceiling is too devastating to be left in the hands of political actors who might misuse it despite its harmful effects on the country and the world. He encouraged both Democrats and Republicans to come together to eliminate the debt ceiling, framing it as a necessary step to avoid financial instability 6. Trump had expressed similar views earlier, stating that abolishing the debt ceiling would be the "smartest thing" Congress could do and that he would fully support such a move 89.

Pros of scrapping the debt limit:

• Eliminates the risk of a government default caused by political brinkmanship over raising the debt ceiling, which could lead to severe economic consequences domestically and globally 25.

• Removes a political tool that has increasingly been used as leverage in budget negotiations, causing uncertainty and potential harm to financial markets and government operations 5.

• Allows the government to meet its financial obligations without interruption, ensuring continued funding for social programs like Social Security and Medicare 1.

Cons of scrapping the debt limit:

• The debt ceiling is seen by some as a necessary check on government spending and fiscal responsibility; removing it could reduce incentives for Congress to control budget deficits 12.

• Critics argue that without the debt ceiling, there may be less political pressure to address the underlying causes of rising national debt, potentially encouraging fiscal irresponsibility 12.

• Some view the debt ceiling as a constitutional safeguard, and its removal could raise legal and political questions about government borrowing authority 1.

In summary, Trump's call to scrap the debt limit aims to prevent economic disruption caused by debt ceiling disputes, but it also raises concerns about removing a mechanism intended to enforce fiscal discipline 68912.
