This year's Dept-Ceiling Crisis Deadline

[hollohas]

This entire thing was all a dog and pony show from the start. It's all BS. There was never any risk of "default". I'm not convinced the debt ceiling even matters. Just days before this so-called default, at the very same time government agencies were claiming they were out of cash and may not be able to pay next week's payroll, we announced another $250M was being sent to Ukraine. Debt ceiling my ass.

The government spends whatever it wants, the budget is make believe and there is no debt "ceiling". It's all BS.

I love how the play it too. Elderly and Veterans wont be paid and will be dying in the streets if we dont approve the money.

You never hear about how Congress won't be paid; nor the freeloaders of society - just those who've earned it lose out.

That is where the problem is. Lawmakers are making decisions (laws) many of which, they are immune from. This 'last second touch-down' celebration to somehow glorify their sorry-ass decision is a great example of their deceit. Biden is the 'Savior" that keeps our country running!

They need to be fired. Politicians are smart and they have their own goals, they could care less about the American people and the real problems. Something has to change.

Political Strategy 101: Create an artificial crisis. Set an arbitrary deadline. Dither until the last minute, while hyping the fear of the allegedly disastrous consequences of missing the deadline. Heroically "solve" the crisis at the last minute. Rinse and repeat.
