Raising the debt ceiling is a treasonous act!

All it does is harm our county.

Im not versed in the reason we structure our debt like this but the dog and pony show they put on about it every 18 months is tiresome. Why does no other country on Earth have to go through this nonsense? Same goes with the government shutdowns.

Of course we don’t know what is in the proposal. I can’t remember the last time we had an actual budget that was approved after public discussion. This is no way to run a railroad but it is where we are. Defaulting on our national debt is not acceptable. There is still money coming in and we could pay the interest and redeem notes. The government would have to prioritize which items would be funded. With Biden in power, they would make CRT and Climate Change top priority right after paying themselves. Next they would pay welfare and any pet projects. At tge bottom of the list would be anything the taxpayer would want like defense and Social Security.

If you’re cutting spending, why do you need to raise the debt

The government spends something like $1.27 for each $1.00 they collect. They are not cutting their spending by over 21%, maybe they will cut it by 1%.

Snip.

The deal would raise the debt limit for two years while capping spending over that time, and includes some extra work requirements for programs for the poor.

So the deal is to put more debt upon the citizens of this nation which means even more interest to paid annually.

"Cuts" don't mean the same to the gov as they mean to normal people.  To them a Cut means not getting as much of an increase as they wanted.  But they still get more than they did last year.

We need a Constitutional amendment imposing Zero-based budgeting.

NGO's?  Shit, last video I watched, CBP had relatively heavy security established for the busses they were loading up at the southern border.  There was a report 2 weeks ago regarding admin at CBP/HS (whatever .gov agency) and Mexico's equivalent making arrangements on when/where the illegals could be picked up and shuttled into the cuntry.

The cut in spending is about $50 billion.

In exchange they are raising the debt ceiling about $4 trillion to get them thru 2 years.

It looks like the Republicans did OK. They got a 1% limit on non defense increases and new work requirements. The devil will be in the details but it does look like the Republicans got the best of the deal while giving the Democrats enough to claim victory.
