Trump is pushing hard to defuse the debt ceiling now and what it would mean for America

Perfect. When asked what you don't like about spending you give the answer, "Republicans spend bad, democrats gooood"

You're question was retarded. Especially since it was a complete change of the subject. And was somewhat of a gotcha question (that I'm ignoring)

Trump didn't sign this CR.

Did you think I was stupid enough to not catch that part?

Yes, you are that stupid, I am happy to answer the questions you pose on your lack of intelligence.

And you're still trying to make it about me.

I win. You lose.

Makes no sense. Why would Trump need to raise the debt ceiling when he has promised to lower spending? That just doesn’t sound like someone who wants to tackle the deficit. Maybe wants to plunder the Treasury and Pension (SS) funds? The hostile takeover approach. Steal the cash, leave a smoking husk and unemployed workers behind. . I got a better idea! Keep limits and guardrails in place!

Other ideas to eliminate the debt ceiling have included minting a $1 trillion platinum coin, which some economists have said would allow the Treasury secretary to deposit the coin to pay off debts.

• President-elect Donald Trump has called on Congress to raise or eliminate the debt ceiling.
• He said doing so before his term would put the onus on Joe Biden and let him avoid an early fight.
• Going over the debt ceiling could lead to a default and a deep recession.

I know... CBS news . I am prepared for the "fake news" . Look it up yourself.. This is not "fake news"

"fake news" it. I dare you, You are only fooling yourself

What is the debt ceiling? Here's why Trump wants Congress to abolish it before he takes office

President-elect Donald Trump added a wrinkle to negotiations over a deal to fund the government when he called for an increase to the debt ceiling.

The debt ceiling is a mythical measure used by Congress to infuse a CR bill with unconscionable and indefensible pork and waste every time they have to vote more money to keep the government going. Trump does want to remove all unnecessary, wasteful, ineffective, inefficient, corrupt spending from the federal government and he didn't want to have to stop everything for another of these stupid CR fights in March while he is still revving up his agenda into high gear. A little over a month is not enough time to make much difference in spending so we will hit the debt ceiling again in March. Trump wanted to avoid that and didn't get his wish but he he did manage to get Congress to whittle out most of the waste/pork from the current CR bill they just passed. That was a HUGE triumph.

You lose when you must state you win. I did not realize questions are a contest for you. Is it because of their difficulty?

That's all he did when he was president. And this CR, that HE pushed for, still overspends.

Apparently you don't understand how it all works. We spend about 4 trillion dollars per year, take in about 2 trillion dollars per year, and put the remaining two trillion dollars on our national debt. So, if you decrease spending 500 billion dollars per year, that means we still spend 3.5 trillion dollars, take in 2 trillion dollars, and charge 1.5 trillion dollars to the national debt, meaning we have to increase the debt ceililng.
