Raise the Debt Ceiling? Not when a Democrat is President
The whole premise of the video you posted was that Biden was at fault here. Are you backing off that now? No, he's desperately trying to change the subject. I'm about to restrict him to the sports threads. He can't be honest elsewhere. Don’t disagree with the boss, you’ll be “restricted”. Welcome t...

Raise the Debt Ceiling? Not when a Democrat is President
You posted another dishonest video, that's how it got off-topic. But we can go back to the topic now, which is about the dishonest Republicans refusing to increase the debt ceiling when Democrats are in the White House. That's the topic, and it isn't going to change. Carry on. Clearly you didn’t re...

Raise the Debt Ceiling? Not when a Democrat is President
I don’t know why this thread has gone so far askew from the topic. We send these folks to Washington to do our bidding. This thread (I think) was intended to address “debt”. When I look at the last few responses, they seem to be about a poster’s credibility???? Got it, or maybe not. It’s clear to me...

Raise the Debt Ceiling? Not when a Democrat is President
A question to consider is which party controlled the Congress when the debt rose above $30m. Or which party controlled Congress when it rose to the mid 20s. Answer R and/or D and you win. Throw shade if you must but…….. Trump didn’t, Biden didn’t, (I didn’t either) your Congress(whichever one you v...

Never expect honesty from a conservative Republican. If they accidentally tell the truth about any subject whatsoever, they will get sick and die. :mrgreen: I expected this low rent response (even while I expect more). Debt limit has been over ridden many times by those who established it. Change t...

Thanks again for nothing. The “debt limit” law was passed in 1917. Congress has found ways of avoiding its own laws (this and others). Look it up. A point you may wish to consider. End of my story. Hold your elected officials accountable or not. Red hats or blue. Throw shade at this poster, no furth...

Asking Congress to meet its responsibilities…….. blasphemy…. Here anyway…….. Strange how Republicans only play this card when a Democrat is in the WH. A Republican president can spend whatever. It's almost like there is partisan gamesmanship going on with the Rs. Thanks for your detailed analysis t...

Thanks for your research/response. (Good to know someone reads my posts). My point was/is that our reps (both parties) in DC establish laws, regulations and “debt limits” then do everything they can to avoid dealing with them instead of doing the work they’re supposed to.

The subject video highlights folks wearing red hats talking into microphones about what’s wrong with the folks that wear blue hats. What’s wrong is that no matter which hat they wear, negotiating isn’t happening, typical Washington. You can spin things if you must but that’s the topic. Throwing shad...

The debt limit hasn't been an issue for over 100 years. It only began to be an issue in 1953 The only people who say both parties are the same are Republicans or republican sympathetic. Did you ever think about why that is the case before you swallowed their rhetoric? Why are the people who lie abo...

This week it’s the folks in the red hats in front of the mikes, next week it’ll be the blue hats, instead of doing their jobs. The “gotcha” is on us for continuing to vote for them.

. You may have heard this before. The federal government hit its legal debt limit in January - $31.4 trillion. This week, House Republicans approved a bill to let the country keep borrowing money, but with strings attached. President Biden says they're unacceptable. Since 1960, Congress has raised,...
