Trump calls for scrapping debt limit

[buttercup]

No, I expect them to vote for the things they pretend to support, like balancing the budget.

Don't hold your breath. It's extremely unlikely that things are going to change. Not only because the entire system is a thoroughly corrupt sham, but because there are too many hopelessly binary-minded useful idiots cheering it on... as we can see in some of the recent replies here. Our country as we knew it is done. Put a fork in it. And I'll probably get attacked for saying this, but I think America deserves whatever it gets. As time goes on I understand more and more why Benjamin Franklin said "if you can keep it" in regard to our republic.

pknopp , what do you disagree with?

Big spending, big government republicans are doing their very best to destroy the USD and it's value. Eliminating the debt ceiling will only allow them to sink this ship. They're not even trying to get the spending under control.
He's siding with Elizabeth Warren..........

Trump is still a democrat at heart. His true blue colors shined bright last time he was in office. They're shining even bluer now.

Trump calls for scrapping debt limit​

President Trump on Wednesday doubled down on calls to scrap the nation’s debt ceiling, pressing for bipartisan action to abolish it and finding common ground with Democrat Sen. Elizabeth Warren (Mass.).

“I am very pleased to announce that, after all of these years, I agree with Senator Elizabeth Warren on SOMETHING. The Debt Limit should be entirely scrapped.........

Very bad idea. Unless they are accelerationists and are working to implode America faster than the normal amount of decay in D.C.

 

[Scoutster]

so post a platform you support with their solutions to our spending problem?

Don’t increase the national debt limit every time it’s inconvenient and cut spending. It’s that fucking simple. Money doesn’t grow on trees, I know politicians don’t get that every time they’ve throw out ideas to buy votes with taxpayer cash to get elected. This is simple. We’re paying a massive amount every year from taxpayer dollars taken in just to pay the national debt interest, at some point we won’t be able to do so that is when it all falls apart. Like many idiots in this country who run up credit card debt they can’t afford and wonder why they get evicted from their homes in the end.

Yep, Dr. Rand Paul is correct. Do NOT raise the Debt Ceiling. Now is the time to make a stand on fiscal sanity.

 

[sealybobo]

She must have written that before January 6, 2021.


She definitely must have written that before Trump pardoned all the violent criminals of January 6.

He's still pardoning other serious criminals.

I'd love to ask her but I don't do politics with friends.

pknopp , what do you disagree with?

Where did this Trump go?

 

[sealybobo]

So, you expect conservatives to vote for democrat woke liberal policies and for the party that has openly said they want to spend 50 trillion dollars on the Green New Deal?

I like the Green New Deal. Do you like what Trump is pissing your money away on?

And I'm not the hypocrite you are. I don't mind presidents spending money on things we need but Democrats don't also give tax breaks to the rich and raise taxes on middle class people. That's what this bill does. It's so obvious. It's a bad bill. Elon is right for once. You are the hypocrites here.

So when you lie cheat and steal you say Democrats do it too. Then you spend like a drunk sailor and say Dems do it too. So then what makes you better?

 

[ElmerMudd]

But you lefties say the government can't go broke because we have a fiat currency.

WTF are talking about. MAGA is incapable of thinking beyond two type of people democrats and republicans. There are more independents than democrats or republicans. It is not the party but what one advocates.

The last President to pass a balanced budget, a budget that lowered the nationa debt, was Bill Clinton.

MAGA are clueless when it comes to fiscal policies.

 

[sartre play]

who is that? name someone. Offer a solution rather than complain.

you missed the message.
BALANCE, the hard work of Compromise,
TRYING to get a little fairness,
in the name of politics.
Working for the greater good.

List Trump's. (I hated the Green New Deal)

This Bill does not give tax breaks to the rich, it keeps the same rate as now.
This Bill eliminates taxes on OT, on SS and on Tips.

So when you lie cheat and steal you say Democrats do it too. Then you spend like a drunk sailor and say Dems do it too. So then what makes you better?

Democrats had a $1.7T deficit, Republicans will have a Bill close to balanced.

most businessmen with large investments file for bankruptcy, it's in the law.

You do not have a clue about businesses. The vast majority of businesses do not file bankruptcy. The company you referred to filed chapter 11 bankruptcy which gives them an opportunity to stay in businesss get back on their financial feet, continue in business and pay off their debt. They are currently doing so.
Trump filed chapter 11 but he did not reorganize, his companies liquidated pr sold leaving many individuals and companies not paid.

Chapter 11 is a tool that an honest business person can use to get back on their feet. The vast nmajority of businesses do not use it. or it can be a tool used and abused by scum buckets to get out of their debt and move on.

Did you read the bill? If you did you'd be calling your senator and telling them to not sign it. But you didn't. Neither did your senator. They'll do what King Trump tells them to do. SIGN IT. And it'll cost you the midterms.

The reason Bill Clinton passed a balanced budget was because a Republican Congress was holding his arms behind his back and making him cry uncle.

Clinton balanced the budget.. No Republican President has done it since. Even when they have had the house and Senate.

Today' Republican congress are a bunch of spineless butt kissers. They are scared to stand up for what they think is right.

I wish we had the Republican congress of the 1990's.

How's that different than what I said?
